coffee with the roosters

today we have decided we have had enough with the touristas here and are heading out for the hills for the day. this requires several chicken buses so it should be an adventure. We go in search of Maximon, the Mayan god/simon peter figure that is in several locations throughout Guatemala. for those of you who witnessed this ceremony you know what I mean. Otherwise, its one of those things you just have to see. we are taking advantage of the down time today, tomorrow and wednesday. We hope to go to Pana tomorrow and a women's cooperative wed. then its the marathon of celebration thurs fri sat. Sunday we go to chichicastenango for the huge market.
I sat on the roof of the posada, drank some coffee and watched the sunrise over the cathedral La Merced. The volcano de Agua is to the south and there was no mist this morning so it stood majestically for all to savor.
Someone please send me my 401k, I don't want to come home!!
will blog more later this evening.
