field trip to Chiapas
tomorrow we are going on a field trip through Saturday to Chiapas, which includes an eight hour bus ride. We are going to Palenque and Campeche on the trip. Chiapas is known for its 1994 Zapatista revolution. As obnoxious as I find Wikipedia to be, here is their definition. It is rainy and colder there as it is the highlands.
Q: What are the Zapatistas?
A: Marcos: "In the movement of the EZLN there is no perfectly defined ideology, in the sense of communist or Marxist-Leninist." "It is not a nucleus that has come, not a guerrilla foco; what has come is something you have never in your life dreamed of: this is the truth."
Tonight I am going out with the students to the Mambo Cafe for the big ¨night out.¨ Good thing I had a siesta today.
Other reading I have done includes David Sedaris´ Naked, David Balducci´s the Hour Game, and I bought the new Jonathan Kellerman novel.
