Palm Sunday 2009

You can find some pictures and information from our visit to zone 1 to watch the Palm Sunday procession at:

GUATEPICS

It's easier for me to host them there than here :( I hope you'll take a look and enjoy!!

With Trembling

It has been a day filled with tremors...something always a little disconcerting. Since I've lived here I have felt a number of tremors, but never so many in one day. Things have been shimmy-shaking all over the city all day long, and Volcan Pacaya, normally available to hikers day and night, has been closed due to the severity of the eruptions. So, we're not really sure what's going on, butwe're hopeful we'll be spared from anything too serious.

Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year here in Guatemala: Palm Sunday!! We are heading to zone 1 to see my very favorite processions and alfombras at sunrise! I'll be posting pics soon!!
