Tuxtla to San Cristobal

We arrived to Tuxtla from OS pretty late, getting off the plane around 6 and finally hitting the road by 7. We don't particularly like driving at night but we had no interest in staying in Tuxtla and certainly did not want to spend another night in Chiapas del Corzo again, so we chose to head towards San Cristobal 1 hour away from the airport. In looking at the weather earlier, there would be a 60% chance of rain tonight, but we were determined to see how far we could make it before having to stop. The drive to San Cristobal was an easy hour staying behind cars to better get an idea of where pot holes and such would be. Arriving in town, the roads were suddenly soaked and we were happy to see that we had just missed the storm. No rain for us! We arrived at our hostel that I had previously booked without any problems, and were pleasantly surprised with the looks of the place. Not only did we get one free night since we had a motorcycle (world travelers by motorcycle or bicycle one night free), but the hostel was actually lively compared to the last few hostels we had been to. We got a private room with bathroom en-suite for two nights for 35 USD. Pretty good for a private bathroom. Right after checking in, it started raining pretty hard and we thanked our lucky stars that it had waited until we were done riding. We missed it again! We were hungry though, so we walked to a store a few blocks over in the rain to get some pasta and wine for dinner. We cooked at the hostel but with the hour we were the only ones hanging around the kitchen. This was our first time cooking our own food at a hostel instead of eating out.
