Old Piles of Words Because the word is mightier than the stone.

Married Again

Today the school took us on an excursion to a town called San Antonio Aguas Calientes a bit outside of Antigua to visit a group that works to keep their traditional Maya lifestyle alive.  There was a presentation about the different parts of traditional Maya dress, food and weddings.  For the wedding, they needed a couple of volunteers from the audience, and Venla and I had the luck of being the slowest to hide behind our chairs.

So, we have now been "married" in the Maya tradition.  To think that we had been living in sin all these years!  While we are sorry that you, dear reader, could not attend the festivities, we hope that these pictures are an acceptable substitute.  Enjoy!
