Ski Southeast Messageboard

#1 daughter and myself joined a 10 day mission trip to the Yucutan, to a small town on the gulf coast to build a parsonage. We lived with the locals, worked in the mornings, played in the evenings, and spoke very bad Spanish. They have an wonderful culture and amazing spirit, I'd go back again and again. Too many stories to tell, so just random pics.

Man i didnt know u could have a mexico tr without bikinis

^^well it was a church youth group but still it does seem a shame



You might have actually escaped into cooler conditions at that time



Some of those pictures are really good, esp the people

Wonderful pictures, and an amazing opportunity to make a difference!

The local culture is just enough socially conservative that bikinis are unseen en la playa; otoh, we found soldier police in full camos and automatic rifles, grilling chicken under the trellises. Adds to the atmosphere.

Great work and pics...

If we could get some snow blowers on top of those buildings at Uxmal, we could have some pretty serious runs.

great story Killer, thanks! You need to post some pictures and we need to hook up on a few lift rides to exchange stories. The food was great and we've been cooking a lot more Mexican since we returned. Sabancuy had pretty good electricity, and a little tienda on almost every block. Great lessons in how much we don't really need.

Nice,really nice. Good on you for taking your daughter for an experience that will have a profound impact on her. And doing that together with your daughter is quite a testamony in itself. Thanks for the pics and post.
