Ok... where to begin... Xela has been absolutely WILD with activity... on Saturday morning we awoke to Sawdust laden streets... decorated for the procession to trample on...

The procession went on for several days... men and boys in purple.. reminded me of that Zhang Yi Mo movie ¨Hero¨. Little girls dressed in white and women in their traditional garb

On Saturday night, the big JC had his ride pimped... check out the black light...

Next morning we woke up to go to the spa in a town called Zunil... came accross another funky procession...

Got to the baths... very nice hot sulphery water...

Later we went back to Zunil and watched a reinactment of the crucifiction... after it was over... the actor was still on the cross and the little kids from town got up and started wailing fruit and rocks at him... a bit too realistic for me

If you look real close... Jesus is wearing Tevas. Walked down the mountain that day... next day we went to another bath called Aguas Amargas... very nice...

Bought a phone today... will head off again tomorow!
