We had the opportunity of going to a Mayan village and seeing how they live. In this picture the man is doing a religious ceremony and blessing us to be safe in the cenote that we will be swimming in later. After he sprinkled water on us they offered us some strong alcohol in a community bowl to share. (NO THANKS!)
The women and children are making corn tortillas for us to eat. They made them by hand and then cooked them over an open flame fire. They were really good.
This young lady was making the beautiful embroidery that is found on their dresses and purses and other things that they sell. It was an old treadle sewing machine which she made work in her bare feet.
These little guys performed some of their native music and poetry. They were adorable and so willing to do their little dances and music. I wish I could have taken them all home with me. Notice the floor of their home and that they have no shoes on again. 
This little girl was playing the drums that were made out of a hollowed out log. She had such a sweet face.
