We loved the possibility of getting to know this beautiful community. Know their kitchens, their table, listen to them, be able to ask them a thousand questions, share the food. We loved having a variety of places and families to meet, allowed us to expand our perception of the place and imagine how they live daily.
We were very excited about how they opened their hearts and with their simplicity shared their questions, their food, their fire pit.
Lety added a lot, we felt very accompanied by her and quiet that she took care of everything. A love with our two children. We feel like we will take this place and this community forever in our hearts.
We talk about it personally but the ultimate gratitude for opening the doors of your intimacy, for being so kind and attentive and cooking and caring for us with so much love.
Food: we lacked fresher food (we understand that there is difficult to get) but after 3 days we miss the fruits and some fresh vegetables. Very rich food although we feel an excess of tortillas and doughs, stomach a little heavy. We also understand that it is the typical food and what they have but we comment on it in a constructive spirit.
Guides and other women: super friendly and committed. A pleasure in the warmth of your home and your table. We believe it would add that they have more knowledge of Mixtec culture (where they lived, how they lived, relationship with other tribes)
Walks: very good walks. Apoala’s is beautiful, the walk through The Warehouse too and the conversation as we learned to work the palm felt a special moment to share with the community.
Mixtec class: it felt a bit “filled” with a list of words before maybe it could be deleted and use that time for a longer walk through the village for example.
