Adventures in Yucatan, Mexico

We have been spending time learning to weave with vines with the help and patience of Don Teodoro . Each student was able to make a small basket, or xúuxaak in Maya. Their hands, feet and minds had to work together to accomplish such a feat! We also learned, along with kids and young people from the community, the basics steps of la jarana , the traditional dance of Yucatan that is seen in the local festivals all across the peninsula.  Our students had a moment to reflect about all that they have learned so far and the activities that will help them adapt to new experiences and give back to those that help them along the way.  To end the week, we had music, dancing, and a magic show to thank the families, friends and everyone in the town for welcoming us and teaching us so much. Off to the next adventure!
