Wood for Cooking

Many Maya women like to cook on a wood fire. In fact, the kitchen in the home of the Maya family we lived with in 2007 in Xela had two stoves: a gas stove run on propane and a wood stove. Some foods are only cooked on a wood fire.

Here are two men (one is behind the other) carrying wood for someone to cook with. Even though their load is heavy, they were moving fast. They had deliveries to make.
