Who knew driving on a pickup with a pensioner could be fun? | Ethical Fashion Guatemala

We had to focus today, and we had to get this right. We were meeting one of the oldest Mayan Permaculture projects by the lake.

I look at James again, my ginger hair flying in my face. “Do you know where we are going?” “I have no idea!” He says laughing again. I could have strangled him. I focus forward, desperately looking for a sign of the organization.

My hat flies into the abyss of the side road. I look back and realize I am never getting it back. I see the sign, I see the gates.

We stomp on the roof of the pickup and like magic it stops. I breathe a sigh of relief.

We succeeded.
