I spent last week (Holy Week) observing the processions that are so prominent in Guatemala City the week before Easter. I didn't get to write about it so much, but I have these photos as a sort of photo-journal, with fun & interesting captions...I think :D I suggest going in order, but if you only look at one album, #3 is my favorite.
Enjoy!
