walking in the hot sun .... my feet are beginning to tire and kill me.......i've been up and down alleys... i decide to drive a bit to higher elevations ... then down..giving my feet a rest... when i notice i can not get by.. there is a gathering below........
so i leave a diff route, but not before i see what is going on... i thought a wedding. a fiesta of sorts.. but it was a funeral.. this is the third time i've experienced this.. .. each time a bit different from the last .......
the men are lined up in long aisles.... the women behind.. music is playing.. horns.. guitars... men at first carry the coffin. later the women....
i am following,. trying to keep up. so excited, my heart is pounding. this is what i live for....... .. im up and down on sidewalks, trying to keep pace.... even falling off one and almost dropping my camera.. falling into the crowd, where others caught me... but i made it.... continuing all the way up through horses carrying wood to the cemetery... a whole other incredible experience.
what a day... just a taste here.. more later.. these kinds of moments set me on fire.. alls well with the world. part of something greater. life and death in guatemala...
