a walk around town

I did warn you that I took over 1500 photos right? So this is pretty much like you being in my living room watching the travel log slide show…and it keeps going and going and going… 😉
Oh well. I'm having a good time.

Welcome to Quetzaltenango. We stopped here for a little less than half an hour. Or something like that. I made a quick dash around the town square and surrounding streets to see what treasures I could find. Once again, this amazing place didn't disappoint. I'll take you on a little tour.

A sweet little family of women in town square. 3 generations. I stopped to talk with them and ask if I could take their picture. They were thrilled! I told them I loved their country. Their faces lit up even more as they told me about their heritage. I told them I was from the U.S. As I looked through the viewfinder, I saw one of the women holding her hand up. Then I realized she was waving. How cute is that? She was saying hello to the people in the good ole' U.S. of A.
And the picture next to it…A group of construction workers taking a lunch break with the cows!

School girls. I love uniforms. The two on the left are sisters. Aren't they beautiful?

Shoe shining and newspaper reading. Two things you are sure to find in any town center.

A familiar sight. McDonald's.

And best of all…a Temple under construction. What a great sight to see!
