Xecaxjoj Teachers



The day before it was the director Irma´s birthday. This was a mini birthday lunch held in the school during recess.



All My Teachers!


Early June I took all my teachers to visit a school already certified as a Healthy School so they could get an idea of what they need to accomplish. This picture resulted!

Waterfall?






So turns out there's a waterfall essentially accross the street from me... I wonder how long it would have been until I found it myself?
Like the rainbow pic?

Finally Some Bonding With the New Host Family





It was Robin's 5th birthday and they invited me to share some cake with them.... really they used me for my camera, but I like to tell myself that even if I didn't have a camera they would have invited me.

Painted House!
