Mayan Social class Merchant

Dear Journal

I had a great day trading. This is the life meeting new people and getting paid. I knew this was going to be the life for me. I just got done traveling by a river. I even get to take my goods to the high lands. I am in the middle of the social class. Compared to peasants and slaves i had an easy life. They had to work really hard and slaves could not leave where their master was until they were free.

I trade things like jade, copal , and tree sap. Trade is influence in the Mayan empire and i am not the only one out there. People need my good to live and i need theirs just as much. I would be strange if trade was not in the Mayan empire.
