La Antigua Guatemala is a place that keep alive a lot of traditions, most of them are Catholic.  Yesterday was celebrated Corpus Christi and we want to share a video of it.  This day specially reminds me when mom used to dress me as “angel”, I guess that until I turned five.  Also remind me grandma cooking Pepian at the kitchen, and everyone running at home for hang the white and yellows curtains from the balcony of the windows.

Hope you enjoy this.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=SfZl2Zotc1I
