I was in San Cristobal de las Casas a year ago, and I definitely don’t remember this.
My friends and I climbed the stairs to a church on a hill – one of my favourite spots in this town. The view is amazing, and there are hundreds of colourful plastic flags draped around, all fluttering in the wind. The inside of the church is lovely – all soothing green tones – and smells strongly of flowers.
But behind the church, where there was only an empty parking lot last year, is now a free public gym.
Yes: people climb the hill and use the free technicolour elliptical machines and weights. Maybe after they go to church.
It’s “what the fuck” moments like this that make me love to travel.
