out of the fish bowl...

I spent a back-breaking day all of Saturday at work packing food stuffs that will be brought out to various communities this week. Corn, rice, beans, powdered milk, mosh (kind of like oatmeal), sugar. It was a ton of work... but at least I got a good workout out of it!










Yesterday, the crew of CCI volunteers and other various gringos hiked up Las Muelas, a mountain not far from Xela. We were led by one of the Spanish teachers, Bayron, from Celas Maya and what a day! It was a beautiful hike and just what we all needed to ¨get away¨.

It was pretty tough too... having been at a higher altitude for 3 weeks, you´d think I´d be use to the lesser oxygen by now! But for many of us, we were gasping as we headed up!
