Snow in Guatemala!!
I realize that I have been very cold the last few days but I did not realize that there has been snow here. This photo was taken in Ixchiguán, San Marcos. This area is farther north, between Quetzaltenango and Huehuetenango. The snow fell yesterday. It was just a dusting but very significant for Guatemala.
The meaning of the name, "Quetzaltenango", is the place of the quetzal bird. It is the national bird of Guatemala. The meaning of the name, "Huehuetenango", is the place of the ancestors.
I am not sure what this lady molded with the snow......if it is a traditional snowman or a quetzal bird........but I am sure that she enjoyed herself!
