Here are a few videos, the first is during the Fiesta of Jesus de Esquipulas, a traditional Mayan dance of the conquistators, interesting costumes and simple marimba playing in the back. This dance has been done since the time of the Spanish arrival in Guatemala. It goes way back.

The second video is on market day in Chichicastenango. Amazing colours, people and mayan ritual happening on the front stairs of the San Tomas Church on the square.

I'm adjusting slowly to life in Canada again. Miss the warmth, the people i met, and the home i have found in Guatemala after so many visits. to be continued....
