Living the homeless life in xela

Homelessness: the closest thing to true community I have ever seen

In xela we stayed at the cheapest hotel that all the traveling artisans stay at, however I'm pretty sure we would consider traveling artisans hobos, they don't have homes and they perform or sell homemade things in the street. They cook together and sleep in the dorms sharing knowledge and stories teaching each other skills. Because my roommate is friends with a band that falls in this category we spent most of our time in xela with artisans. Very cool.

Street art and community cooking: the dish that looks like a pizza is a spanish tortilla with beets zuchini onion and egg and the dish that looks like key lime pie is quacamole, all for around 5$ total. it fed 8 of us with leftovers for the whole day

I have internet!

And for some reason areomexico says you need to arrive 3 freakin hours early so after a ten min check in I have time too, this is definitely worth leaving at 4am...

So here's some pictures of san pedro, my friend lisa, my sweet kitten, and derumbas!
