There was another church procession last Sunday. You already know what those look like. So I will show you some of the cute kids that came to el parque central for the celebration. This was a real family day.
One thing you should know about the children in Antigua--there is no such thing as ONE child. They are all connected. One afternoon Buzz and I were eating ice cream cones at the Marco Polo helados store, and a cute little Mayan girl stood by our table and watched us eat. Well, how can you eat ice cream in front of a child? So I asked her if she wanted ice cream. Si, limon por favor. As soon as she got her cone, she ran out the door and told her friends that we were buying ice cream, and suddenly we had several children around our table and a number of parents too. It was a little overwhelming. The store owner and several customers started laughing. Apparently they already knew that there is no such thing as one child.
