San Cristobal is a very laid back town and very pretty. Much like Chimanimani in the 90s, it attracts all sorts of hippies and buskers, lots of barefoot Europeans selling jewelry amongst the Maya selling their handicraft...
Some lovely pedestrian thoroughfares
The Zocalo
Childbirth display at the Museum of Mayan Medicine. The wife kneels in front of her husband and hangs on to his neck, the midwife is behind. The placenta is buried in the floor of the hut, one way up if the next is to be a boy, the other way for a girl. Amongst medicinal plants I was interested to see lantana camara, banned and punishable by fine in Zimbabwe, it is used here as a remedy for diahrea. Artemisis, the ultimate antimalarial drug is used as an anti parisite remedy, which figures.
