This post is published late since we were unable to get to an internet cafe.
This morning we went on a tour of Xela. Xela is much different than San Lucas-- its a bigger city, and not much farmland. The people there wore more modern "American" clothes, which was opposite of what we saw in San Lucas, where the people only wore the traditional Guatemalan clothes. The first thing we noticed was that once we were out of the "city" part of Xela, and closer to the farming areas, the people were wearing the traditional Guatemalan clothes again.
We went up one of the mountains to a sight-seeing spot where we could see over most of the city, and it was really amazing. After that we headed over to Agua del Pueblo, where we met with the employees and director of the organization. She explained a lot about what Agua del Pueblo does and we had a chance to ask questions. Then we got started on the transfer of records from three ring binders from the 1970s to Excel documents, where all of the information from the previous and future water projects will be kept.
