visual journey...

Un poquito mas fotos...


1. Someone spray painted the gallo symbol on a wall...and I love it!



2. Today, walking back from our teaching post at Telesecondaria, we saw this man overlooking the cemetary...I might remember this sight forever.


3. This was taken in the more tropical/jungle area near the coast at a Mayan Ruins site. The rocks near the bottom are from aroun 900bc...used for a tunneling system. Pretty cool stuff, really!



4. This little guy was sooo sleepy...probably because he's nocturnal.


5. Walking in the park one day I saw this parade...I have no idea what it was for. I asked a little girl, but the only thing I understood from her response was that she wanted me to buy stickers.


6. At my last Comida Internacional on Friday, we had an american theme in honor of Independence Day. Appropriately, the grilled cheese sandwiches were made with "queso tipo americano" with the rippling flag in the background of the package.

7. Yesterday, as I was browsing the local market, I came across this. I'm not sure what to say about this...there was a band playing some nice salsa music, and then there were these people dressed up in crazy costumes doing some sort of dance to the music. It was by far the weirdest thing I have ever seen...if you look closely, you can see a clown, two blonde "women" and Saddam Hussein. If you see the connection between these masked figures, please let me know. Below is a video of the dance...
