Laundry Day

Although most people in El Remate have water piped into their homes, the same is not true for the small villages between here and Tikal. Once a week the women pack up all the laundry and the kids and bus the few kilometers down the road to wash their clothes here in the lake on ancient “washing stones”. This family group bathed themselves and cleaned a weeks worth of clothes while keeping an eye on the Mayan Fire Ceremony that was sharing their space.
