San Miguel

While we were in San Ignacio, our friend Germo told us that we must visit his Mayan home town of San Miguel. He even offered us a place to stay, with his family of Mum, Dad and 8 siblings. We accepted the offer and headed down south. When we arrived in San Miguel Germo's family hadn't gotten his message and had no idea who we were!! Nevertheless they listened to our story of meeting Germo and welcomed us into their home with open arms. They were such wonderful people and we were very sad when it came time to leave.
