Wa'in pa Rochoch Wicha (Lunch at Wicha's House)

The tijonela' and tijoxela' (students and teachers) having lunch together.

A soup with squash, onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other vegetables.

Fresh, steaming wäy (tortillas) wrapped in a cloth to keep them warm.

This is a lady who lives with Wicha playing with the cat that lives there. She was always so kind to us and was VERY patient with us when we tried to practice our Kaqchikel with her.

The altar inside of Wicha's house.

Everyday we had Wa'in (lunch) at Wicha's house. We always ate at a huge table, and there was always plenty of wäy (tortillas) to go around! As the community leader, there was also a large altar in the corner of the room where we ate. It was always a beautiful ambiance to have lunch. Plus, the added opportunity to speak Kaqchikel was invaluable!
