Feliz Dia de Independencia!

Last Saturday was Guatemala's Independence Day.  The celebrations went on for about five days- most of this I missed because we were in school all day during the week.  I got to see some on Saturday, though.  We caught the main parade through town.  We watched for over two hours, but it had started before we got down there.  All day there were parades and music in the streets.  The amount of people in Antigua was incredible! 

Leslie had a scary run-in when a lady tried to take a razor blade to the bottom of her purse.  Luckily, she was paying good attention and we avoided any tragedies.
