Birthdays!

I accidentally forgot to post the remarkable hand made (by my six year old host brother) carpet and procession that passed in our carport. 

Alfonso's 15th!!!

The cookie cake we made.

My wonderful birthday party.

Receiving the gifts from my aunts, including the handmade bag I am holding and scarf in the picture! Wow!



Lent!

Dead Jesus. There were several on the loose in the streets of Antigua.

Jesus carrying his cross in a sea of purple people.


The Virgin always follows Jesus. The early rain caused her to be put in a plastic bag. 

After Jesus, the virgin, purple people, Roman soldiers, and incense, there is always a band!

Don't forget the cleanup crew.

One of the carpets made of flowers and colored saw dust before a procession passed with the Roman soldiers standing guard.

Judas. And the fair below.
