On wednesday night i went to the movie to see a film about Argentina named "the real story". The story takes place in the 80s. People were arrested because they were believed to be against the government. The women who were pregnant gave birth before they disapeared or found dead. The babies were sold to married couple who could'nt have one. The woman in the film discovered it in the newspaper and as they "adopted" a girl at this period, she started to ask question and tried to discover the truth. It's a really sad and hard movie but good to see.

Yesterday, we went to a small village named St Andre Xumul. There is a church they painted in 2005 in Yellow. Very special!!
Last night we went out to a local bar and as the alcool is not expensive... i drunk 5 cuba libre (coca and rhum) for 4 euros. A great night but it was hard this morning :o)

This afternoon I'm going back to the Baņos for a hot bath. Then we have a diner with the school with a few drinks in a bar. Tomorrow we're meeting at 5 in the morning to go climbing San Maria Volcano (3750m), an other one! So the night is going to be veryyyy short!!!
