Today we went to a natural hot spring about an hour outside of Xela. The first shot in the video is Volcan Santa Maria, which stands tall over the city. The water is heated entirely by the heat from a nearby volcano. After our swim, we were so kindly invited to the home of Don Rafael, our shuttle driver. His mother and wife showed us the beautiful process of tradition weaving. His mother and wife only speak their native Mayan tongue and Don Rafael did all of the translating. I have a new appreciation for the clothes that are made by the Mayan women after seeing the lengthy process. The family was kind enough to let the girls try on traditional outfits! Take a look!
