Day 8

By elissam

After breakfast we took out the total station to survey and map the plaza and surrounding houses. Around noon we left for the  teacher’s festival in Milpuc. We heard the head of the teachers’ association speak about pay raise for teachers, lack of resources, and classroom issues. He also called for a teachers strike to gain some recognition. 

We walked back to Chirimoto, finished the plaza map, and then went to see the bookmobile. The bookmobile is still just a metal frame, and we spent some tim watching Panchito’s kids climb on it and try to wheel it around.
