hope you are all enjoying a peaceful, snowy new year. similar to christmas, things are pretty different down here. theres currently a merengue band playing in the city center and a bunch of youth in costume dancing in the street. im about to go meet the rest of the family for a big dinner. i hope to work a little on my project tonight and speak to a few local musicians.
i went across the lake to a bigger city the other day to try to find someone to talk to about the music. i didnt think i would find anything but i happened to be pretty lucky and ask two random guys on the street if they knew where i could find someone to talk to. their neighbor is one of the biggest musicians in town and they took me to his house so we could talk for a while. afterwards, they led me to a sacred mayan house that contains one of their gods to which they frequently give gifts and light candles.
sorry that i dont have time to write much right now. im going to try to do another update before i hit the road. this week will be my last here in san pedro. ive decided to do a week on the road.
again, i hope you enjoy your new years. i know my sisters here will.
love and peace to all.
