Looking at land with José
We mentioned to José, the guard of the local school where we are temporarily parking our car, that we are looking for land to purchase. It turns out that his brother has a piece of property for sale! So we went with José to look at it.
Unfortunately, due to the division of land among the Mayan heirs through the years, sometimes including 10 children, the available plots of land are often long, skinny strips. Michael measured this plot by walking its width and length, and we estimated that it is 15 meters by 120 meters, part of which is separated by a road, and part of which is on a steep hill. We'll keep looking.
