A walk from Salcajá to Cantel

We live in Salcajá, but Mosiah works entirely in Cantel the neighboring Municipio (like a county) and the women´s group that I work with is in an Aldea (smaller town in the same Municipio) of Cantel. Usually we take buses from Salcajá to Cantel, however a couple of Saturdays ago we decided to see how long it would take to walk. It took about twice as long to walk 1 1/2 hour vs. 45 minutes buy bus, however the views were much better on the walk. Here are a few pictures.

and the weather was with you and you saved a few Q by walking. Thanks for letting us see parts of your life in Guatemala. It really does look a little like the fields around here.

That reminds me lots of the walk we had to take to the excavation site in Perú. The dirt road dead-ended more than a mile from the site, which was in a fallow field on a farm, and we had to hike out there with our excavation equipment every day. It was a long walk and on some days I cursed it, but usually it was peaceful going through the maize fields and banana trees, with the Andes looming to the east. In a funny way I miss it. Gracias por las fotos.
