Mayan Village - by Annah



Hi this is Annah. I want to tell you about traditional
Guatemalan food and clothes. We visited the town of San Antonio, which is a small town outside Antigua.

This is a picture of me cooking a tortilla they are really good after they are cooked or with some beef in them. You have to pat the dough until it is really flat and thin. Then you put it on a very hot pan that is cooking over a fire.














This is the pan they cook the tortillas on.





















We had some yummy but spicy food it had chicken and veggies and rice in it. I liked it very much!!














































































This is a traditional thing that they do. They put the basket on their heads and they don't use their hands! That's how they carry things like fruits & vegetables.
















We got to seperate the strings, and see how they make clothes and blankets by weaving them. We also got to see a d wedding ceremony. They wear a special skirt and shirt that have a belt around it
that keeps it up. The bride
also makes gifts to give to the parents, grandparents and husband. They do a special dance back and forth.

It looks like you are getting to experience lots of new things, Annah! I'm jealous that you are wearing shorts and a t-shirt - it's cold here!

I LOVE that you are experiencing such amazing cultural things. The learning you are doing right now will never be forgotten because you are living it! I am envious of your shorts and t-shirts just like Miss B!
