My Travel Blah, Blah, Blog: Week 2

Maaan, too much is going on. It is so hard to keep this updated. Last week I had my homestay and service learning experience. It was amazing. I have so many pictures it will be hard to pick which to post.
My homestay was in the Maya village of San Jose de Succotz. On the first night I stayed at the Trek Stop. The Trek Stop is an Eco friendly hotel. It was different but interesting. The shower water is collected rainwater and the toilets are composting. It was a lot like camping.
Then in the morning I went to the Learning Center where I worked with children for a few hours. The children are all out of school for the summer and the learning center provides a safe place for children to gather and interact while learning. It truly is an amazing place.
That night I had my homestay. I was staying with a woman named Marisol, her mother and two children and they were all very sweet. Her daughter is only 2 months old and her name is Stephanie as well. I had really good home cooked meals while I was with Marisol. It was a great experience.
On Thursday the Foothill group took a trip down the coast to a Garifuna museum and then to the beach. It was a fun trip and the museum was small but interesting. The beach was great because the water was shallow and warm. Then a small group of us played Frisbee. All in all, it was a great day.
Yesterday, some of the Foothill group visited El Aguacate, the site where we do out archaeology. After a short day we visited El Aguacate Dos and then called it a day. We all came home and took showers and got ready for dinner and lecture. After dinner and lecture, we went out to the local Karaoke bar and then to good old Fayawata. It was a great week.
