Angelito sings a song
Profe Juan was one of the teachers who worked at my small school in Taj Buxup and also one of my good friends in town. He's a huge promoter of Healthy Schools and supporter/befriender of Peace Corps Volunteers. This next clip is of his youngest son, Juan Angel, singing the theme song from his favorite T.V. show, Discovery Kids.
Cute kids
Maybe my closest Jakalteca friend was Maria Ros. She and her family were extremely welcoming to me from almost the very start of my service. I celebrated birthdays and holidays with them and ate at their house at least once a week. This next video is of her nephew, Mario José, who loves to dance. (I use freeware. There's a watermark. Ignore it.)
And here's one of Mario and his cousin Nicol Valesca playing and just generally being cute in the house Maria is in the process of building.
Friday night festivities
In case you've ever wondered what I did for fun on a Friday night in Jacal, the answer is: ping pong, of course. At the end of this clip, Juan Jo gloats about beating me for the first (and only ... :) time. (It was before I was able to sit him down for his first English grammar lesson.)
