The colours are so breathtaking even with the fruit and veggies displayed in front of the statue. The people do look happy and they probably don't have much-tells one how to live. I have to make a card inspired by these colours
Karen, I am absolutely loving your blog. I'm so glad that the A-Z challenge brought you to my blog first.
I spent a month in Xela in 2007 because I wanted to learn Spanish, and I really want to go back. I spend 2 weekends in Pana, and your blog and beautiful photos bring it all back. I don't think I'll be able to get there this summer, but I might try for 2015. My Spanish is rusty, so it's a great excuse!
Chuck, It kinda does look like him! But I took the photo so fast from a van driving by, I don't remember. My best guess is yes because this was some kind of parade where kids dressed in all kinds of outfits, even clowns mixed with more traditional kinds of Guatemalan costumes. The van driver said it was a festival but I couldn't understand what kind.
Which are just as colorful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo-essay! I am touched by the offering of harvested crops (?). And the colors and smiles, of course. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMarcia, I too was touched by the offering, laid out so neatly and lovingly. It was so beautiful, I took pictures from nearly every angle.
DeleteThe colors are so stunning! I would love to visit the cafe in the second pic.
ReplyDeleteI love those colors! Looks like such a nice community, too.
ReplyDeleteThe colors alone make me want to visit!

ReplyDeleteI always got along well with Chapins. They are normally pretty easy-going.
ReplyDeleteMe gusta los colores coloniales.
ReplyDeleteLee, I love Spanish!!!
DeleteIt looks wonderful and friendly.
ReplyDeleteGuatemalan textiles are known for their vibrant colors. I see this applies everywhere.
ReplyDeleteLovely tribute :)

Chris, I hope you do! And be sure to look me up at the Casa Colonial Hotel! It's right off Santander and February 14, on Calle Monterey.
DeleteWhat beautiful photos and beautiful people. I am loving your A to Z introduction to Guatemala!
ReplyDelete(BTW, was that Spongebob Squarepants in the line (left side of photo) on the second to last photo? Or have I watched too much children's television?)
