19 May

We didn’t ride today because we are spending two nights in San Cristobal de las casas to give us an opportunity to explore this beautiful little town. We originally thought that we should hire some bicycles from the hotel but soon decided that it was to inhibitive to constantly stop to take photos so decided instead to do the entire town by foot.

This is a charming colonial old town with a large focus on community living. The town squares are alive all day  and after sunset, bands start to play and people, old and young alike dance until late in the evening surrounded by busy restaurants and bars that pour out onto one of the many squares and pedestrian only streets.

Be a sport Many of us have the means and wherewithal to undertake the dreams we want but elect to choose otherwise, many however, do not and that is the purpose of this plea. Afrika Tikkun (http://afrikatikkun.org// ) is a South African non governmental, non profit charity organisation run by the Lubner family that in essence does just that; re-provide the possibility to dream and to create the possibility of turning those dreams into a reality.

Unlike many pleas of this nature, I am not looking for any kind of sponsorship for my trip, but I am looking for your donation, regardless of its size to Afrika Tikkun. Please pledge generously as this is a fantastic cause that will assist them to provide food, care, education, health and social services to those that are desperately in need.
