Holiday Weekends


Miss Nicole Sanders-soon to be Mrs. Bartlett
The picture above is of Nicole Sanders and me the evening before her wedding.  We girls went out to celebrate!  She was married to Mau Bartlett on Saturday at a beautiful ceremony here in Xela.  The weather was perfect.  It truly was a wonderful day to celebrate two incredible people.  We think weddings in the states are long, this wedding started at 10:00 am and the party didn't stop until 11:30 pm.  Dustin and I stepped out around 5:30! 

 

Beautiful day

This weekend was a three day weekend here in Xela. Monday was Dia De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead. The whole city takes off and celebrates in the cemetary by flying kites, placing flowers, and eating the traditional dish, fiambre (a hodge podge of meats and veggies soaked in vinager and beets) YUCK!


Grave
The holiday focuses on gatherings of family and friends to pray for and remember friends and family members who have died
