Mexico!
San Cristobal de la Casas, in Chiapas, in the south of Mexico. Nice town - quite modern compared to most of the places I saw in Central America. I'm wondering whether Mexico is more developed mainly because it hasn't had to deal with civil wars in recent decades.
I'm staying with Kjell Kuhne, who founded Hospitality Club with his brother back in 2000 (several years before CouchSurfing started). Great guy, and it's interesting talking with him about sustainability and appropriate technology. Turns out he recently went to a national Mexican convention on appropriate technology - I'll be going over that material with him tonight, and talking about how to make connections between this knowledge and these people and Appropedia's appropriate technology base.
Finding street food without meat is a challenge though.
