Events in Los Tuxtlas & Catemaco

Subcomandante Marcos in Catemaco
Subcomandante Marcos finally brought his message to
Catemaco, Veracruz a day late, but forgot his horse.

A casual observer could possibly count on 2 hands and
maybe a foot the number of local residents welcoming
him. But he did have a crowd of hill people, car loads of
young european/gringo/mexico city chattering class
apostles, a handful of apparent Indians and a dozen
photographers.

What I especially liked was one of his campaign vehicles
with "New Mexico, USA" car license plates.

The
subcomandante did take a chatting walk around the
city and some pamphlets crossed hands. One could
literally smell the fear Catemaqueños exuded, for being
seen with him and reported to their local party chiefs.

So much for social democracy!

Happy Trails!, subcomandante.
