In the video, you’ll see the inside of the cooking hut, the fire that’s kept burning all day long, the cooking pot where Carmen cooks her sauces, and the way she makes her tortillas.

In Kristine Ellingson’s book, Tales from the Yucatan Jungle: Life in a Mayan Village, Kristine tells her love story, how her chance meeting with a Mayan man while vacationing in Yucatan leads to their subsequent marriage. She also describes her adjustment to living in a Mayan village close to the Uxmal Mayan ruins and the intriguing, rich lives of her Mayan family and friends.
