Antigua, Guatemala. These are rented tombs in the cemetary for the low class Guatemalans who cannot afford a place in the ground and a proper headstone. This particular section is reserved for children, however there are larger portions for adults. People rent them for a certain period of time and if they do not update their payment in time the body is removed to make space for other people. My favorite Church. An egret flying over the mangroves in Monterrico on the Pacific Coast. These beautiful kids are paddling all over Rio Dulce, they came up to our boat selling water flowers and crabs from the river.
4:30 am lancha tour of the mangroves in Monterrico. Livingston, Guatemala - on the Caribbean coast - the culture here is completely different...it's like being in a different country. Livingston was formed by the black slaves that didn't go all the way up to Belize. They have their own language - sort of an english/spanish mix, they also dress really differently, completely opposite of the extremely conservative way people dress in the rest of the country...it's more like being in Jamaica then Guatemala.
