Wecome to Guatemala

Guatemala is the land of active volcanoes and frequent and devastating earthquakes. The people seem to take it all in their stride and are very open and friendly folks. The kids particularly are very sweet and love having their photograph taken. They laugh and squeal when they are shown their image in the camera screen.
 A lot of the day to day commerce takes place on the street, the example above is a fruit and treats stall.

There are many beatiful buildi.ngs which date back to colonial times but most exhibit signs of severe earthquake damage. Above is the remains of what was once a very ornate church.

Taxi sir?

We will blog again as soon as able.
