Here are some of the most amazing things I saw on my trip to Guatemala:
I visited the local cemetery of Xela, which had stunning crypts and tombs of every shape and color (families come and paint the tombs bright colors every year on Day of the Dead) and were covered with flowers. For anyone who hasn't been to Central America and didn't know, all the cemeteries are above ground, and caskets are often slid into walls like this one.
The flower pic is one I took on a three day hike. The mountain in the background is Volcan Santa Maria, which I also hiked.
The people of Guatemala were so cool. All the kids were beautiful, like this little girl. The girls weaving and the man with the watermelons we came across in tiny villages in the mountains on a hike. The watermelon guy is wearing what looks like a skirt. Most of the men in these little villages wore them, and don't forget to note the ever-present machete at his side, like every other Guatemalan man ever.
