A view of Antigua! Every day at 3 pm the tourist police guide people up to the cross to get a wonderful view of Antigua as well as Volcan Agua. Antigua is a small city of cobblestone streets, rich in history as it was Guatemalas 3rd capital. This has been our home since September 2006.
Ben graduating!!!When Rick's school had less students, we enrolled Ben for 2 hours a day for two weeks. Ben learned so much during those weeks. Lieza, Ben's teacher, made learning fun with a variety of activities.
She is growing up!Yes, Elena will be 5 in just a few days (March 23). Elena loves to "go places" and when either mom and dad are getting ready to go on an errand, Elena can often be heard saying "Daddy [or mommy], I want to go see places." It is hard to say no!
Easter is coming!Each weekend in March leading up to "Semana Santa" or Easter, there are processionals. Similar to Palm Sunday, in which the Jewish people laid palms for Jesus to walk over as he entered Jerusalem, here in Guatemala, people build fombras in the street. The above fombra is one of 200 that we saw in the processional from Jocatenango. We will write more about Easter and the processionals in another blog entry.
