A photo from the basement of the Capuchinas Convent in Antigua, liked the way lights goes in.

I ended with thousand of photos of the Alfombras, I liked this pattern a lot

Its a religious setup, but due to the very little lighting, the closed space of the basement and stairs, more than devotion it causes fear.

Maybe that the purpose, to inspire what is called "be fear of God"

Another Alfombra (carpet) form the Antigua Prosession, this with flowers, fruits and plant, a very pretty and impressive design.

On the Holy week verbena, the similarity and difference of some mexican and guatemalean food caught my attention.

At a start, in Guatemala this kind of fast food is called "Refacciones" a term that i as mexican associate more with car fix parts. Here in Mexico que called them "tentempi" or "refrigerio" o algunas "lonche" a near term to the english lunch.

Back on topic, what we Mexican call "Torta de Pollo" in guatemala is "Pan con Pollo" a piece of bread with chicken inside. wel the breads are different, but still is basically the same.

Other is the meat from the photo, over there is sold as "Tortilla con carne", that is basically the same as "Tacos de Carne" in Mexico, but well, the thing is even when its basically the same, a tortilla and a piece of meat, since the taco is folded, and here they are given kind of apart, its a different thing.

Interesting.
