After two strenuous weeks of language classes at PlQ and la Escuela de la Montaña we took a four hour bus ride to the city of Antigua where we spent one night. The following day we left for the remote town of El Paredon where we have been volunteering with the local non-profit La Choza Chula. We have been learning about sustainable development in small communities. We volunteered with local elementary school kids and thought them about environmental conservation by preforming plays and puppet shows and picking up trash around town. In our free time we soaked up the sun and surfed. We had and amazing week and now we are at Lake Atitlan for a yoga retreat.
