Guatemala




April 2006 I made an unexpected trip to Guatemala with my sister, and my husband. It was special because we went to bring my new niece home. My sister adopted the most beautiful girl in the World! She was 11 months when we were finally allowed to take her home.
               Guatemala is a beautiful country, the food amazingly flavorful and the people very nice and accommodating.  We were privileged to be in Guatemala City Easter Week during the Semana Santa Procession. It was amazing to experience the pageant, parade, carpets of color made with fruits and vegetables of many colors, and designs on the ground and hotel lobby floor in colored sand.
After five special days in the country we came home with a special bundle that has been the light of all our lives.
