I{ve enjoyed your photos very much.

Thank you for visiting my blog and for commenting about Patty my wife and her breast cancer treatments. I like your photographs very much and the doors on your old blog were marvelous. I like today’s picture too and your explanation for the book bus.

We used to have this kind of bus when I was a little boy during World War II. It came to our village once a month and picked up books and left us check out new ones.

I don’t have any spanish books to donate but if you could let us know where we could send a donation for buying books, that would be great! I just want to let you know how much I enjoy your photographs. I was in Guatemala this winter and spent almost 2 weeks in Antiqua. It’s a beautiful town and these photographs help to keep it alive for me. Thanks Rudy!

I don’t suppose you could update your post on this one to let others of us know where or how we could send books, too? I’d be very interested in doing that. I have a lot of children’s books that my kids are outgrowing.

It’s a great project and the photo is interesting as usual also because I think that in Guatemala everything deserves a photo.
