Change of program and here we go, back to the pits that, fortunately, we haven't disequipped.

In the meantime, after the trips to Tuxla, the car takes us to Carranza, a community to the west where we haven't been able to get inside yet.

Things have changed, thanks to the project carried for years, to the friendship developed, to the constant support of the municipality of Cintalapa and...caves come up.

Suddenly we take this opportunity and program a first trip to 3 or 4 caves (we have always to interpret when we talk with the local people).

Today we are going to split in four groups (woops...five, included the usual taxi-driver...). The first group is going to topography and finish the exploration of the cueva "El Arco", the second one is going to accompany the students in their last training at the "Cueva Siberiana", the third, small and lightly equipped, is going with the guides to the first caves of the new explorative zone. The last (after a meeting with hundreds of red angry ants and a dose of cortisone to stop the anaphylactic shock) is going to Cintalapa to meet the major to continue the development of the project.

And what about me? I'm on my way to the Tuxla Gutierrez Airport, to meet two American speleologists, just to complicate the linguistic babel of this expedition.
I hope only to find some clients on the way, to get back some money for the frequent shopping of wine, rhum and nutella we allow us!
Here we go!
