Boatloads of photos

Another amazing day. We continued work on Tomás' plot of land and we were working side-by-side with Tomás and his daughters.
Prior to going to Guatemala, we were told that the division of labor was very clear in Guatemala - the men worked in the fields and the women worked with cooking, sewing, etc. The women most definitely did not work in the fields.
When we started working on Tomás' plot, he said that he would otherwise have to move all this dirt himself. We asked "with your family?" as the three daughters were standing nearby. His reply was "no, by myself - my son is only two years old".
Well, we swung into action with our usual gusto, and our young women (not kids anymore - not after this trip) were right in there in the middle of it. It took some time, but after a while Tomás daughters started working there right beside us. It was cool!

Anyway, I've finally gotten through the photos from the first three days at the village and I've uploaded 40 of them to the "photostream" link above. Or you can just click here. I wanted to focus on getting photos of our young adults up there so that the parents at home could see how hard they are working. All the adults on the trip are so proud of how hard the kids are working - as well as making time to play with the village children and teach them new games or how to jump rope.

Enjoy the photos!!
