We started this Valentine Day with a trip across Lake Atitlan to see my friend Louise and her husbands project in Panabaj. They are building a house for a family who's house was literally falling down around them.
We also visited the school where Louise and Jim have made such a difference in by building a toilet for the school...teaching gardening by giving each student plants to grow and measure....and providing many books.
We then saw Maximon the Mayan god and then had lunch. We shopped along the way back to our launcha for the return trip to Panajachel. Had a bit of a rest then we were invited to the Mayan Families office for snacks and a demonstration of an Onil stove. Several of the girls tried their hand at making tortillas on the newly constructed stove.
Then they were treated to a couple of videos showing the many projects that Mayan Familes have started. Tomorrow we visit El Barranco.
