Day 3 En el campo - plus every type of Taco you can think of!!!!

On the second night of our trip we stayed in a small hotel in Zapotitlan, basic but clean with comfortable bed.  There was no time in the morning for breakfast, as we had to pick up some of the locals and then drive to Alista for the final meeting of the trip.  However, when we picked up my favourite little lady, she had prepared warm tacos, with bean filling and salsa for us to eat on the trip.  Amazing, she must be in her late 60's and she was up making us breakfast!!  We all squashed into the Ute with another 5 locals sitting in the back.

Today's meeting was to try and assist the group of eight business to move on to taking over the program for themselves and to try an resolve a couple of internal rifts.  Quite a difficult day for Paula and Marco.  Everyone arrived from the four villages and each group was laden with different types of taco.  (Potatoes, fish, meat, beans with salsa)  To wash all this down Raymond (the only man in the group) brought along 4 bottles of his home made punch (made from plums).  (Here I am talking about food again!!).

The meeting was a difficult one and it was interesting to watch the different body language as people put up their arguments. Finally, some action points were agreed on and each group had small projects to complete for the next meeting in two weeks time.


It was time to drive back to Guadalajara after a couple of very tiring days for the two consultants from CAMPO.
