Maya Day
Today I went to Maya Day, which is held at Blue Creek Tumulkin High School. I went with Ms. Gloria, Bernadina, and Mark. I dressed in my po’ot and ‘uk (traditional maya k’ekchi blouse and skirt). At Maya day they had:
-Chopping wood contest
-Best dressed in Kekchi and Mopan Maya clothes
-Best dancer and tons more contests (they danced to the harp)!
They had all the local Maya quisine (a lot of caldo… however, Amy and I had tamales with cahoon cabbage in it… very unique!). There were also games to play.
I got to see Amy and other PC trainees. I enjoyed myself! Last year I was unable to go; therefore, I am very happy that I got to go this year!
