This morning the three women in our group were invited to Juanita’s house (left) where she lives with her 84-year-old mother. There are no roads to her house–we traveled down a rocky trail through coffee trees with views of the mountains and lush valleys below.
Juanita’s mother speaks only Nahuatl. Our trip leader, Laura, translated our many questions into Spanish, which Juanita translated into Nahuatl. Then the answers would come back in Spanish and then English.

I agree with the above comment–the smiles are fantastic. Laura traveled with us to Xiloxochico on the GCN trip there over Christmas. Her fluent Spanish came in very handy and she is also wonderful with children.

Hi Mike. Fun to hear from you. It was a great experience. And Laura was a fabulous leader for us as well.
