Saturday

Well, I'm back!! After several frustrating days of not being able to connect to wifi, I found a new place, and I'm back to blogging.

I have been working hard and learning a lot as I converse more and more. It has been overwhelming at times, but good. I know I am making progress, but am also very aware of how much there is yet to learn.

It is not all work, however. On Thursday, two other students & I went on a horseback ride to a place called Hacienda San Lucas.



(Poor horse...too much weight!!)
We saw some nice views on the way up the hill:





When we reached the Hacienda, we had a drink and then hiked to see Los Sapos--the Toads. They were part of Mayan fertility rites:


The ride back was faster--I think the horse wanted to be done!


Today I went back to the Ruinas for a second look, and now am enjoying a liquado--mango, milk & ice--very yummy.
