one of the things i truly miss about living in a foreign country is the life that exists on the streets. after living in spain and returning home, i felt a little lost. the streets were filled with cars but no people. i missed being able to walk down a street while dodging bikes, dogs, people walking home with their fresh groceries for the day. visiting guatemala filled that void for me.
the streets are alive.
the street shopping was quite an adventure. i think my dad was followed by no less that 5 people at a time. he couldn't say no to anyone…and ended up with about a 50-pounds of stuff in his backpack.
jeff and i took a ride in one of these little red "tuk tuks." that is one fun way to get around town!
yes, the streets are alive and well.

Couldn’t have said it any better! LOVE the street life. Miss it! You captured it really well.
ditto to what sariah said. (hi, sariah). You captured the street life! You captured their daily life I LOVE it!!
What a delightful family blog. I have so enjoyed catching up with your happenings and really enjoyed all your fantastic photos. You captured Guatamala perfectly and brought back a lot of good memories for me. It was about 10 years ago that I visited some of those same places in Guatamala. I agree, the people are B-utiful!
agreed, i love the street life! you capture it perfectly! makes me want to be there.
