Plants of Guatemala


We started the day with a typical breakfast consisting of oatmeal, baked beans and bread. We went off to work at 9 AM. Today’s project was to work at the Reforestation Station. We didn’t do too much work, but we learned a lot about the trees and medicinal plants. We also ventured to an ancient Mayan alter which overlooked all of San Lucas Toliman. We returned for lunch consisting of bread, tortillas and beef along with rice. We are having a talk with a Guatemalan cook to hear her perspective on the Finca as a woman. Later tonight we will probably do our usual activities of Catch Phrase and maybe head to the pub. Today’s weather was temperate. It was nice to have a cooler breeze especially with everyone’s burns from yesterday.
