This is the community square at San Huertas about 10 minute walk from our community gate.
It is wash day. The Mayan ladies are at the built in tubs that each have a washboard built into it.
The have a plastic bowl - see on the side - that they scoop the water into their own tub. You never
see kids in the water. It is for washing clothes only. Their clothes are woven. So they wash them then carry them home to hang to dry. Would be a very heavy load. I am so in awe of them.!
Can see the blue basket , it is clean and they will put it on their heads to take home. Such strong
necks, I think.
We went with Old town Tours and did a four hour bike hike. Ended up here for lunch at the Organic Macadamian Nut Farm. Was a fascinating tour.
This is a try of nuts ready to be sorted.
Here I am sorting them. The fall down into the hole of the size they are and then are sent to the roasting oven.
Just leaving, but wanted you to see the size of the leaves. Such a pretty place. Will take you there when you come. They are using new techniques that have cut the growing time to maturity of the tree by half. They are so excite.d
