Día del Niño Activities in La Antigua Guatemala

Mimes and clowns were the main attraction for the boys and girls alike during the Día del niño, Children’s Day, celebrations. To me, I was delighted to hear and see the little ones sing mishito; all off key. Mishito is the Guatemalan Spanish word for kitten. Often you can hear mishito mishito mishito as children and adults call their kittens.

I leave you with a short clip of the Coro del Colegio Los Angelitos something or another. Enjoy!
