I headed to Rosa's community in Copapayo. It is an hour and a half bus ride outside of Suchitoto's city center but still considered part of Suchitoto. We followed the gnarly dirt road in the hills, through corn fields, and lush tropical foliage. Beautiful! |

| I went for both a morning and afternoon walk with Rosa's nephew's Samuel and Louis. We walked through the fields, into the mountains, down by the lake. Exploring the whole way. They were telling me about the plants, animals, and even trying to scare me with horror stories. Hilarious! At one point they asked how far I planned walking. I responded, "A la frontera de Guatemala" (To the Guatemalan boarder). They looked at each other with scared faces and were silenced for a few minutes before I told them the truth. They were spunky guides! |

| Samuel and Louis setting off fireworks IN THE HOUSE! See the chicken next to the tree? They TIED it to the tree because when it wondered outside the house, it wouldn't come back like the others. So they tied the poor thing to the tree! And THEY WERE SETTING OFF FIREWORKS RIGHT NEXT TO HER! |
