Day 8: reforestation (Kenny)

As the days go by, everyone is waking up later and closer to the time we have to be at breakfast. Upon our arrival at the mission, we find out that we will be having oatmeal and beans. Which is served almost every morning. After eating, we started to walk across town to toribio's house. Who is in charge of the re-forestation project in San Lucas. He taught us about the many indigenous trees in the region and the different uses for their wood. Next, he took us up to his house. In his backyard there is a Mayan worship sight where his grandfather took his dad as a kid. He did not know this until after buying the property. After lunch we rode in the back of a truck to the women's center. Here we learned how to wash clothes in pilas, make tortillas, balance buckets on our heads, and carry bundles of wood on our backs. While the rest of the group was finishing up, a few of us went to play soccer with the kids at the center. The field was very small and packed with people. We soon realized that the locals are much better at soccer than us and ended up losing to a bunch of little kids.
