La hora de Dios

When going from San Cristobal (my home base) to a community one hour driving away, you can arrive at the same time you left. When we leave at eight o´clock summer time, we arive at eight their time or as Avelino says ´8 o´clock God´s time´. At that time, he just comes back from his milpa where he has work for some hours before the sun starts burning too wildly.

In the communities they do not feel bounded by a government decision to change forth their clocks. Why would you if you always awake with the light of a new day?
