Another eye-opening travel post from Xeni Jardin:

Honoring Our Elders: Snapshots from Christmas in Sololá, Guatemala

“…Upon receiving his gift, centenarian Don Juan expressed thanks to Ajaw (the Mayan creator god) and to the givers of the gift who had ‘the good conscience to remember the forgotten elders.’”

I love this picture of the old dudes.
The related links at the bottom of her post also offer a very rich glimpse into Guatemalan culture.

Did you ever see the rasta bumper sticker that has the Tranquilo on it?

That’s my message to the world “take it easy”

I was in some of the same places you have been. Good for you to make such a great statement!

Thanks
