San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico!

San Cristóbal de las Casas, Mexico, felt like an upper class Antigua, Guatemala. The streets, buildings, churches and parks looked more sophisticated.  In total, it took us 12 hours to travel from Guatemala to Mexico, including boarder crossing. The ride was easy, just long, and when Liz and I got to Mexico we were wiped. For the first night, we ended up finding a beautiful hotel for 150 pesos a night, it had wifi, TV, queen beds, and our own bathroom... we were in heaven!  The next morning we ended up switching hotels because it was too pricey, but well worth one night. 

We spent a lot of time wondering the streets, churches, museums and markets of San Cristóbal. The prices were a lot cheaper in Mexico from what we are use to in Guatemala, the exchange rate was also in our favor.

Liz and I ended up taking a tour of Misol Ha, Agua Azul, and Palenque all in one day. We left our hotel at 6:00 a.m. and headed to each location. In Misol Ha we had one hour to visit the wet waterfall, 2 hours to visit Agua Azul and 2 hours to visit Palenque. We didn't return until 9:00p.m. and we were exhausted.

Palenque, 

Palenque is one of the coolest places I've ever seen. We could walk straight up the stairs and go through the old Mayan buildings. We would be walking through the buildings, surrounded my the jungle, and be able to hear the monkey's screaming.

The buildings and views were incredible.
