The next time you need to get something
from here to there and don't have anything to haul it in, do what the Guatemalans do...use your head!  Notice the strap around her head and in the photo below.

Everyone has stacks and stacks of firewood, both for heat and cooking.  The man carrying his load of wood down from the forrest is a very common site.

 

We watched this man carry 12 - 2 x 4's about 10 feet long up the road and then up this hill to his home...but what was amazing to me is that he was an old man!  These people have such a hard life.
