Xunantunich ruins and visiting La Democracia village

Today was awesome. The first thing we did today was visiting the ancient Mayan ruins,  Xunantunich. They are very close to the Guatemala border. We climbed halfway up the main “castle” but we couldn’t reach the top due to the recent earthquake in Honduras. After we visited the ruins we went shopping!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay for shopping!!!!!!! After a quick shopping spree, we drove to the La Democracia primary school. We had a brief tour of the village and we looked at the site where we were going to build on. Then, we had some fun. We played soccer and basketball with the kids from the school. We got all hot and sweaty and we decided that we had to cool down. We ended up going to the Sibun River, which was the perfect temperature where we cooled off and relaxed. To top the day off we had a delicious Creole dinner. Also, after the dinner, we participated in a team building activity where we learned how work with other people in a group. It was great preparation for the work tomorrow. –Ryan and Ralsey
