He is eleven and brought his boots with him because he wanted to go exploring in my jungle. I gave him a small machete and we went into my jungle and he was in heaven chopping down some vines and looking for snakes. Also, here where I live, the local Mayans stack rocks. I always wondered why. If you know of a spiritual reason, or the name, I would love it if you could let me know.
