Finally Photographs!

I have finally figured out how to post photographs to this blog! I have my son Adad to thank for gently walking me through the process. At least I was able to post two days ago, with Adad by my side. Today I am going to attempt to post by myself.

However before I do, I would like to caption the four photos posted the other day. The first are lizards at the zoo in Tuxtla Gutierrez, the capital city of Chiapas. This zoo houses only indigenous Chiapas plants and animals in spacious environments that reflect their natural situation. It was oppressively hot in the concrete flatlands of Tuxtla and the several hours we spent walking in the zoo were cooler under the lush canopy of jungle trees and vines.

That is Francisco Gallo on top of the Radio Ombligo sign. Radio
Ombligo (Umbilical Radio) is the show that he and his wife Aleli create collaboratively for children and their parents, that is broadcast five mornings a week from 7 till 8 - an hour designedto be a good way to wake up and start the day.

The next picture is Gallo in the hat looking Buster Keatonish, with Roque holding Gallo's daughter Kamila and I taken by Aleli in the zoo - other odd animals we are.

And the last photo is a churchyard in San Cristobal de las Casas that was on one of my regular walking routes around town.
