"La Cuaresma" has finally come to an end. This past week of Semana Santa (Easter week) has brought lots of tourists to Guatemala to admire the carpets made of flowers or colored saw dust. The streets are lined with these "alfombras" (carpets) that people have labored over for hours and then the processions pass through - men in royal purple robes and women in black, people swinging pine incense, passing through the streets with a marching band close behind, walking over the carpets. A busy, beautiful week!
