Ticuch and Juan Bautista

Today we visited the village of Ticuch. I have an old friend there named Juan and I've told stories about him in class many times. Juan is married to a much, much younger woman and has many children. They are a traditional maya family and they all speak Mayan. The kids treated him and his family with love and respect as he allowed them into his humble home. They listened to him tell stories, played hacky-sack with his children and some other neighbors, listened to him speak Mayan to him, and even went and shared Cokes with the family. I was very happy with the experience and I know that many of the kids were extremely happy with it also.
Here are some pics from the event and a video of Juan speaking some Mayan and Spanish.
