I normally don’t like red, however, I make an exception for antigüeño red. In fact, I make an exception for any color in the color palette for La Antigua Guatemala. Of course, some of you know what’s my favorite antigüeño color is, right?
How about you, what’s your favorite antigüeño color?
When was the last time you visited the Color palette category? Well, I know I fed it exactly one month ago. Talking about feeding and eating, well, todays color palette goes very well with Guatemalan caldos, surely you know what caldos are, right?
Now that we are on the subject of caldos and Guatemalan cuisine; I have some questions for you. Here we go:
If we get at least fifteen replies, I will answer all those questions myself as well; even though it may be considered over-sharing. 
The sonajas or maracas take on a different name in Guatemala, they are called chinchines; an onomatopoeia (onomatopeya in Spanish). Generally, Guatemalan chinchines are found painted black with incisions made to expose the natural color with patterns similar to what you may find in textiles, but more recently chinchines can be found of all colors.
¡Viva el arcoiris!
If you have followed, for at least a while, the previous 995 daily pages, you might have come to realized that Guatemalans don’t like mellow neutral colors like beige or gray. On the contrary, the color palette found in all things Guatemalan is an intense and rich rainbow, with so many complementary and contrasting hues that anyone with a little background in plastic arts may find impossible to combine in a single piece. But leave it the Amerindian indigenous people of Guatemala to show you how.
Oh how I wish I could do the same! 
Thank you for your beautiful photos and all the information that comes with it! My daughter is in Antigua for almost two weeks now working as a volunteer. Your website is bringing me closer to her. I could see the buses she’s riding and places she might be walking… I wish I could be there too… especially now. I’m a frequent visitor on your site now, checking out your newest and old photos. They are amazing! Thanks again. —Aleksandra Kuchta
