breakfast
Today we woke up and walked over to breakfast which was eggs, sausage, pancakes, and fresh fruit.
Then we headed over to the center of San Ignacio to be dropped off for a photo scavenger hunt. We had to find one of two dentist on the island, a stray dog (a very common sight) and a person born in San Ignacio, an I cream shop, and many other random places. This was for us to get comfortable in the city and to know our way around better. Here are a few pictures of some things we needed to find.
lunch
We got to eat at one of the local places in the center of San Ignacio. It's name is Ko-ox han-nah, I'm not sure what language it is but it translates to let's go eat. I split a quasadilla with basil and chicken on it with a friend and it still was a really big portion.
Xunatunich mayan ruins
Our first trip to ruins were to the Xunatunich Mayan ruins. Xunatunich is translated from Mayan to English as Stone Lady. The ruins cover about a square mile of land and we climbed up a few of the. Below is a picture looking up and the tallest ruin and one looking out from the top.
dinner
We had shish kabobs for dinner and then had a quick orientation for the health care testing the next day.
