This is a Guatemalan Glass Factory

In the Guatemalan countryside, we visited a glass factory!
This is the oven they use to cool the glass off in after pieces are finished.
The glass starts off at about 1700 Celsius, and takes at least 24 hours to cool off
in this oven so it doesn't shatter from temperature shock.

Members of the cooperative at work.

Yup. Workin it.

Oh, and me. . . also workin it!!!
You probably can't tell, but I'm sweating
like an unrealistic cartoon character in this picture.
Cute, right?

This is the glass they use at the factory, before it's used.
It's all recycled from bottles and stuff - they sort it
into different color piles before they melt it down.
This place is freaking cool.
