85. San Juan & San Pedro (1-12-11)

by Karen Dunn | March 3, 2011

Today, I went to San Juan and San Pedro with my parents and their friends.  Over the weekend, my mother arranged a tour to San Juan with Mayan Traditions.  Marcelle from Mayan Traditions took us to the homes of three families that Mayan Traditions works with in San Juan.
