Hello Folks!
My group made it back from Chiapas on Friday safely. The past two days we spent at CASAS and are getting ready to go to Antigua for Holy Week, also trying to pack up to come home! Our time in Chiapas was a whirl wind of experiences, from the good to the bad. It was about 20 degrees gotter in Chiapas and really humid. Good thing it was the rainy season, at least it felt cooler during the evening. The people there were so kind and open, it was a small town and everyone knew each other. The food there was quite different at times, and so was the culture. Our group may have had a hard time adjusting because everyone seemed to be getting sick, even me. (And my mom knows how often I get sick...very rarely.)
We stayed in host families again and we stayed in pairs. Our house was a little bit outside, with no shower, and no toilet seat. But my host mom always made everything good! The coffee plantations were incredible! The focus on getting as many plants per hectacre and know every tree by name and what it does. I am so amazed at the work they put in.
Okay, Breakfast time,
Will continue with detail later,
Take Care and God Bless,
Kiersten
