Breakfast at the hotel.

 The first "carpet" we saw.

 The ruins of an old building damaged by the earthquake.

 The parade walks over these.

 Church

 Over 48 men and boys carry these dressed in purple and white.

 Mary is carried by women and girls in black and white.

Each person has to lift about 70 to 100 lbs.  They trade off with others in a few blocks. There are people everywhere. It is quite a spectacle.  People camp out in line to pay for the opportunity to do this.

One of the volcanoes that's around the city.

We went to Antigua Guatemala yesterday. Crowded and hot, but the parade and other things were very interesting. I have entered some more pictures.
