Colorful Guatemalan Kite Decorations

Colorful Guatemala, I tell you!

It is quite common for businesses to decorate with colorful Guatemalan kites during October and November. Above, you can see the Guatemalan kite decorations at the entrance of Doña Luisa Xicotencatl. Below, the stairway to the second floor.

Also, don’t forget that the first exposition of the Antigua Photo Club is coming up. If you’re in town, don’t miss this rare opportunity to purchase high quality prints of the captivating images from the photo club members, including of course, photographs from yours truly, at discounted prices. All funds raised will be donated to a charity.

Oh, no, Rudy, you did NOT post a picture of Dona Luisa’s. Mis favoritas camareras en todo el mundo, buena comida, deliciosas galletas, Mmmmm.
The place looks great with the kites as decorations. And your fiambre entry is making me hungry again. I think I need another visit to the vortex very, very soon.
