I managed to borrow a woman's computer at the school for a few minutes and downloaded a few photos for the blog. This was my view from the car we rented to drive to Chinique. A typical view of a rural town, this is Quetzaltenango, a major crossroad for travellers. All these people would be waiting for the chicken bus to travel to various places in Guatemala.
Mi Familia en Guatemala. These are the people i stayed with while in the capital. Rinna, our friend from Canada who invited me in the first place, her mother, her sister Milka (who lives in Columbia) and Ivan her nephew who was our most excellent driver. This picture is outside Betty's house in Chinique, the day after the fiesta. Mama was so happy to be travelling!
La Merced Catedral in Antigua Gautemala. Old colonial church, fully restored, muy bonita.
A market stall along the Pan American Highway selling the most amazing carrots i have ever seen.
Rinna and I at the entrance to the Village of Chinique in the Chiche.
Boy lighting a candle during the fiesta to Jesus de Esquipulas (the black christ of esquipulas). The church was full of candles until late at night.
The Church in Chinique on a beautiful fiesta morning.
The spanish is going well, i am amazed at what i am learning. Seriously considering extending the ticket to stay longer. We'll see. I'll keep you posted. Keep warm in the cold north my friends!
