San Antonio Morning Trip

The last Friday I had class the school took us on a field trip to San Antonio (well, I had to pay 80 quetzales ($11 US) so I choose to go). :) The tour was for this traditional Mayan village where we got to learn about their history and culture in an all Spanish presentation. I understood maybe 50% of it. :)

Here is the lady that gave the presentation. Some of the larger blankets take one person a YEAR to make!




I volunteered to be a part of the presentation and ended up getting "married" that day and grinding some coffee beans by hand. One of the marriage traditions I liked was that the future husband has to pay for the entire wedding (which is a 5 day celebration) and one of the traditions I didn't like was that for the honeymoon the bride has to wash ALL of the dishes!





Here are a couple of pictures from the trip:
