World Aids Day in Antigua Guatemala

La Antigua Guatemalal joined the other cities in the world that, on December 1, observed World Aids Day, Día mundial del sida, with cultural and awareness-promoting activities.

There was, of course, the omni-present marimba music, speeches, parades, skateboarding, rollerblading, et cetera. Red ribbons and white t-shirts bearing the red ribbon stamps and information about Día mundial del sida were handed out by the Human Rights Commission and the Minister of Education.

All in all, there was a great relax atmosphere around La Antigua Guatemala’s Central Park.

How was World Aids Day observed in your city?

Skateboarding in La Antigua Guatemala's Central Park

Roller skaters and skate-boarders using the Central Park is something you don’t see very often. There are plenty of skaters in La Antigua Guatemala, but they are not allowed to use Parque Central. The exception was made on December 1 as part of activities for Día mundial del sida (World Aids Day).

I also took advantage of the relax atmosphere I took quite a number of jumps. Check out the slide show. Enjoy!
