It is so nice being up on the plantation. Huehue is also nice, but the serenity and scenery of Agua Dulce is amazing.
Our drive up was uneventful, which is always a good thing. Some of us rode in a van while everyone else rod in the back of the trucks. The trip was about two hours long, with one stop for lunch.
Once we got up here we got settled and headed over to church. We were asked to sing songs, give testimonies and preach, so our part of the service was very similar to Saturday night. The main thing that was different was that many of the people in the church do not speak Spanish. They only speak their native, Mayan language. So, when we spoke, Edwin translated it to Spanish and then the Pastor translated to their language. It was very interesting to witness!
For anyone who was here last year or had a student go last year you would be interested to know that there have been some improvements to the plantation and the guest area where we all stay. They made a very nice path leading up to our bedrooms out of concrete, with a railing.
There is also an amazing looking kitchen that is almost complete. And we get to paint it tomorrow! There is also a fence/gate around the porch to keep out the chickens, turkeys, and dogs. There is also another building down by the area where they process/clean the coffee beans.
Now, we are all just hanging out, waiting for dinner. People are reading on the hammock, playing soccer and ping pong. Good, relaxing time all around for everyone!
