Here are some more photos taken whilst we've been out and about in Tapachula.
At the movies... Petrina has been to see a few movies - all in Spanish. The kids ones (like ''Megamente'' which you may have had in Australia called 'Megamind') are the easiest for learners to follow! Occaionally they show a movie with English subtitles but so far there hasn't been one we want to see!

| There is a whole condiment bar for the popcorn at the cinemas - including jalepeños, chilli sauce, ketchup and mayonaise. The kids couldn't believe it when I said we don't eat popcorn with chilli in Australia! |

| Couldn't resist this photo - just a funny translation(-: |

| The cinema has all the mod cons of home |

 |
| Petrina with 'Jugo para llevar' (Juice to take-away) - think this one was actually a 'liquado' or milkshake of platana, coco, rompope y leche (banana, coconut, rompope and milk). |
Any liquid foodstuff in Mexico that you 'take-away' (including the salsa and chilli sauce for your tacos and quesadillas of course!) they serve in a little plastic bag. With drinks they tie it around a straw. Juice and fruit-based milkshakes are big business in Mexico, they sell it on every street, often people will have a stall set up outside their front door. Maybe becuse the climate is so warm and the tropical fruit so plentiful? Whatever the reason, we're loving it and Petrina is actually developing a taste for Papaya (Pawpaw), as its in nearly everything!

| Some photos from the outdoor market where we buy our fruit and veggies a few times a week. The chickens (right) are sprayed with some kind of preservative, which is why they are yellow. |  |
