Here is a steep road down to a village. And these men are making gravel the hard way. You can see the different grades or rock piled up. Even on the farms or lime stone areas you only see shovels, picks, hoes, and everyone is carries a machete. A few wheelbarrows but that is about it. With all the hours of driving around the country I only ever saw one tractor. Everything is done by hand. They say it is because the wheel is sacred to the Mayan people so they will not use it for work. And last I had to get this photo of the local airport gun control. You can see you lock your own guns up for safety here. Many people have automatic weapons there. Just about all the guards even at Subway or burger king have an AK47. Sometimes I was afraid to take a photo as you can't tell who is just a guard going to work or who is part of a guerrilla.
