Reincarnation & Firecrackers

In the Mayan religion, they believe in reincarnation. Our tour guide today spoke about how he would want to live the same life again and not change anything. It makes you think about what you would want to do differently if anything at all.

Firecrackers are set off for celebrations all the time here. We had them set off for us when we left Mercedes village. It feels kind of strange to have this kind of "attention", but they do it with so much joy.

We are in Antigua now, as we left Panajachel first thing this morning. This Colonial town is like being in a small town in Spain. It's so different . You see most people wearing Western clothing.

This is going to be my home for the next month once I finish off the touring with Hearts and Hands.
