honey in valladolid
We see that bees love honey too. Here they devour a squash dessert that has been soaked in honey. The image is from this past weekend when I was in Valladolid working on the honey project. My friend Herbe Chim Ake recorded the 1.5 hour meeting which was mostly in Maya, except for a few Spanish words here and there. President of Lol-Kanchunub Cooperative, Raul Ché Puc, spoke about the need to earn a fair wage for their honey and our project to bring the honey to an international market.

programa nacional de turismo 2007–2012
Mérida, Mayor Bojorquez said, should be the pride of México. Carolina Cárdenas Sosa focused on what she called the “sexenio de turismo” meaning that the focus of President Calderon’s administration, a six-year term, would be tourism – primarily cultural tourism as a way to generate more riches for our people. Patron Laviada, outgoing Governor of Yucatán, the last to speak in the morning session, mentioned several times that tourism was the motor for economic development in the region. Our “gran ventaja es la cultura Maya” (great advantage is Maya culture). While he did mention that the Maya culture lives, he was one of many who focused on Maya culture in the past and one of the new 7 wonders – Chichén Itzá.
