Hello Everyone, hope you are all having a pleasant Sunday.  Today was Maya Day in Toledo which represents a celebration of the Mayan Culture.  It takes place once a year at Tu’mulkin (an agricultural high school) in Blue Creek.

The grand ceremonies opened with a Deer Dance:

There was lots of entertainment including a “corn shucking” competition on stage. There was lots of Mayan Foods involving different types of Kaldos (mainly chicken soup) and there was even some Creole influence with cowfoot soup.

We set up our stall with Copal Medicinal Soaps, Ointments and Oils:

Luckily, we got a school table for our display,  Basically, all the school furniture was brought out to be used at the stalls so some people used school desks.  It wasn’t a big deal really and it made the whole event more real and authentic.  People traveled from surrounding villages on charted buses to get this event so it was definitely well attended.

A fun day out in Toledo!!
