Me giving my speech and Rafa holding the candles I gave him. I gave him two flowers from the garden earlier because candles and flowers are an essential part of the Mayan ceremony, and Rafa is the one who introduced me to Vicente.

Road down the hill from the center
This is one of the (very steep) roads from the center of town. It's pretty scary seeing a man coming down on a motorcycle with his wife behind him holding a baby, but it's a typical scene.
Internet cafe
On the right is a lovely little cafe where I sometimes go for a half hour to have breakfast or coffee. The people are so lovely, and it is very quiet. They offer a half hour of free internet with a food order.
My local store
This is where I buy my food. There are markets in the center, but this is convenient, and I can usually get what I want; pineapple, mango, papaya, bread, cheese, veggies...
First turn on way to school
On this stretch of road, where cars are not allowed, I can buy a used book, get a massage, or buy a German pastry (none shown). At the corner is one of the many small tiendas. This road is always under construction, and it is inteersting when horses and motorcycles come by.
