John, Don and Tigger

Here Johnny sports the traditional traje of the men from Solola while an obliging Mayan women patiently waits to haggle with us for it.
What?  
Don runs a self-sustaining hostel/killer restaurant/nonprofit in Nebaj called Mayan Hope. All proceeds go towards schools in the Ixil Triangle area; the area hit hardest by the war. Here he takes a cigarette break after cooking all 12 of us hearty breakfasts with the help of a volunteer wait staff of one. 
Don's cat, Tigger takes advantage of the break as well. Ya know how people say that sometimes pets look like their owners?
