Luna Chiapas-5- 18
Today was a laid back kinda day. As you see above, we started on our way to town. (That's a picture of Jenny and Chelsea walking away from Lyn's house). We walked around a bit and went to a cool paper making place, where I met a guy who had been working there for 13 years, since he was 12!
Then we went to town and walked around. We went to the market and bought some things, (a nice pair of pants for me, that I will be giving to my mom). We came back and ate delicious food prepared by Chip's cook. We are going to go to his place later and watch a slide show.
I didn't really take many pictures today. I mostly took pictures of the local graffitti. Apparently, there is an artist here that uses stencils. He reminds me of De La Vega, in New York. Some are political, and some are not understandable by me. I hope I get to see more examples of his work during my stay here.
Tomorrow we will be preparing for our photo opening, which is tomorrow as well. I am excited to meet the Club Balam girls. We will be painting a canvas and putting the photos up. I'm so glad I got to be apart of this project back from the begining, back home and now here in Chiapas. I wish you could all see how fantastic it is going to be!!
