La Vida en Tuxtla II - Los Arboles

Although I haven't yet discovered anyone with a passion for environmentalism here in Tuxtla, trees seem to have a special place in the heart of Chiapanecans. The (paved) road leading up to the school has two trees growing out of the middle of it. Another seems to be growing out of a fence and one has been incorporated into a guard hut. This type of care taken of trees during construction may not be universal, but it certainly is much more common than at home.








You may not be able to see both of them, but there are two trees growing out of the middle of the road.










This is some kind of ditch that runs next to the main road. Diamond-shaped structures have been made in the ditch to protect the trees growing out of the middle of it.
I pass several of these on the walk to school.
