Zunil

Our first field trip with our language school was to a nearby town. We took a local (aka chicken) bus though the countryside to Zunil, which lies in a small valley surrounded by green peaks. We visited San Simón, a Mayan saint that likes to smoke cigars and drink. He moves from house to house each year. This is not the one we saw but it is pretty similar.

We then headed to the church because you always have to visit the church.

We also visited a women’s cooperative. And here are some pics of the countryside on the way and in the city.
