A Three Hour Tour...

We enjoyed being tourists this afternoon and were able to see some nearby villages. Our favorite parts were the view of San Antonio Aguas Calientes (I'm sure the picture won't do it justice) and learning about the differences in Maya weavings.



This is the Archbishop's Palace in San Juan de Obispo, which is also the home to a small order of nuns.


We also visited the home of one of the most respected weavers in Guatemala. They dressed my mom in traditional Mayan clothing, but I promised her I would not post the pictures. :)


These are wash basins in a small village we visited. Our guide explained that not only do the women come here to do laundry, but also where they can visit and catch up on the latest news.



My friend Amanda asked me what we were eating these days. Today for lunch we had a pretty typical Guatemalan lunch -- beans, rice, tomatoes, and avocados. It was delicious!!! (Cohen LOVES fresh avocados just like we do. He smacks his lips togeher after every bite.) We plan on going back to the market tomorrow for more fresh fruits and vegetables... Wish us luck, Saturday is the busiest day at the market and our first time braving the busy time.
