Wednesday September 15 is Guatemalan's Independence Day which translates to a day of off school for us here at IAS and the week off of school for Guatemalan schools. This week is full of celebration, parades, parades, and more parades as well as Xela Feria. The Xela Fair! On Wednesday morning we decided to go. An overwhelming experience to say the least.
We ate churrasco and churros and left very happy until Guatemalan revenge struck and we hustled to the house. It was a great day to experience Guatemalan culture and share with them the excitement of their independence. Even though we experienced the fair in a 3rd world country there are many similarities food, rides, games and things to buy that none of us need!
Whoohoo! Cheers for days off! You guys look adorable. Loving this journey you're sharing. Gracias!
