Big day today! The pope is in San Cristobal and will be giving mass here, then in a sports stadium outside the city, and finally in Tuxtla. I’ve been having difficulty using Twitter so here are a few pictures.
For the past couple weeks, people from autonomous communities had been camping out in front of the cathedral to bring attention to their requests.
Police in the Zocalo on Saturday, preparing to kick out the remaining campers.
Indigenous women selling their products to the police.
Prohibited objects at the entrance of San Cristobal. El San Franciscan thinks some lucky selfie stick salesman has an in with the local government.
A warm welcome by Coca Cola FEMSA. If I weren’t here studying milk I would be studying soda. At the risk of being flippant – genocide is ongoing and it tastes like sugar.
Get your minion in time for mass!
I was told that wearing one of these T-shirts would get me into mass for free.
