Colorful Guatemala Revisited

Colorful Guatemala

I am completely ruined. After having spent so much time around rich, intense colors, textures, idiosyncrasies, how could I ever live again in places with muted colors, muted lifestyles, where everything is the same old, same old.

How could I? How could you?

    Yes, how could you indeed?

    You sound like me asking myself if I could live outside the bustling, busy, dirty and crazy Metro Manila.

    I just adore these colors and patterns! And the baby sling (my sister got a Guatemalan sling when her kids were still babies) and the cute-sie baby who posed for you! ;)

    What a darling photo of the child in the sling! The women’s clothes are so vibrant, colorful, cheerful! Bravo!

    I know what you mean. Every time I return from Guatemala, I get very depressed when I go to the grocery store and everything is just white. No color, nothing, and no one barely speaks; everyone just shuffles along, trying to get home and get through their day. :-(

    The colors and textures are definitely vibrant…Was the woman whose hand is cupped over her ear talking on a phone? If so, what a wonderful photo to capture the juxtaposition of technologies (weaving and cell phones).

      @Stephanie, yes, she was talking on the phone.

    This photo is perfect for what I was trying to explain in a meeting today! I am glad that I recommended a visit to this page.
    I am so used to colors that when I moved 6 months ago, the first thing I did to the new house was paint some walls, before the cargo arrived.

    Who says I’m ‘living’? Ja-ja-ja.
    I hear you, Rudy. This time of year in Boston, everything is grey, brown, or a funny brown-grey from all the salt put on the icy roads. What I wouldn’t give for a few doblados and a Moza in the land of the volcanoes right about now. What do you think – how much longer will I be able to stay away?
