Hahahaha, that dog took a serious wrong turn there. As a kid (and even now) I always wonder what an anda looked like from this perspective. Hahahaha, that dog took a serious wrong turn there.

I know I have pending the entry <em>La Antigua Guatemala is not Guatemala</em>; thanks for the remainder. <strong>Claudia</strong>, I can see you never carried an anda before; shame on you! ;-) Actually I have never done it either and probably never will. :-( <strong>MO</strong>, no <em>periodista</em> credentials for this photoblogger. :-( I simply follow the procession for a few steps, shooting like a crazy paparazzo, and then I approached the rear end of the anda and lower my camera and adjusted the settings for low light, and click a few more shots. Did any body follow the link to see the <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/antiguadailyphoto/2345684452/sizes/o/" rel="nofollow">chucho</a> under the float? Shelley, thanks for your visits and comments.

Janna, gracias mariposa en la pared.

Coltrane_lives, I am glad I could show a new angle for some of you and me.

LOL. I bet your periodista credentials granted you an "all area access" pass.

I remember there were specific men/female/children "processions" depending on the "image" (Saint?) and the weight. Do equal opportunity is permeating the good ol' RC church in Guate? Or is it a sign that LAG is not Guatemala? This seems to be a co-ed “anda”… is that more common nowadays?

Thank you for the opportunity to visit the unseen parts of La Antigua through your gifted lens.
