A Fun Parade

Friday is Independence Day in Guatemala. That means no school for us...hooray!! This week has been filled with special activities to celebrate the holiday. Below are a few pictures from a parade of elementary school students that was held on Wednesday.

There was a little bit of everything in this parade... boys in Biblical (?) costumes carrying a statue of Jesus, and cute little guys with painted gotees and sideburns.

I don't think that this would be allowed in the States! This group was celebrating the diverse cultures represented in Guatemala The three in the back were celebrating "negros."
