The occasional telenovela (I haven't found one yet that's completely hooked me) makes my worst days seem not so bad, and los lustradores, well - they know just about everything, if you know how to ask. @Rudy - along emromesco's line of questioning - do we know anything about said young lady ? Most importantly, do you think she has an older sister ? Ja-ja-ja. Guatemala is such a beautiful country ... @Laura – I’ll take the best of both worlds, thank you.

@Rudy – along emromesco’s line of questioning – do we know anything about said young lady ? Most importantly, do you think she has an older sister ? Ja-ja-ja. Guatemala is such a beautiful country …

If you ever browse its pages you will think "beast" is an understatement. ;-) @Leif Hage, the beast is the horrible newspaper.

I don't understand the value of TV novelas. Sorry if you're a fan, but I'd rather join Rudy on that bench talking to shoe shiners, getting a real scoop on life... than waste any of my time watching one of those. @eromesco: In part, I agree with you about the head scarf. But, I also know that it works great in shading one's head or neck from the sun. It then gracefully transforms into a light pull-over when it gets chilly at night here in La Antigua. Perhaps the scarf has become a religious statement or a fashion statement, but some of us still use them for the functionality as well, which is what I imagine was their purpose before religion or fashion. I'm not going to lie... I like getting the functionality out of them WHILE ALSO looking fashionable. ;) Speaking of a sensational waste of time… I don’t understand the value of TV novelas.

Any hints about the provenance of this mademoiselle?
