Meet Suerte y Fortuna

Luck is nothing more than opportunity meeting preparation. So, I have to be ready when opportunity comes along.

Can anyone tell why Suerte (luck) and Fortuna (fortune) are represented by these gorgeous ceramic owls? The first valid reply wins this photo as a post card mailed to your home or office!

Rudy;

We (my wife and I) live in Arizona, but we look at AntiguaDailyPhoto every day. It is a beautiful site. Keep up the good work. We will be in Antigua from the 15th of April until the 19th and would very much like to stop by your office and meet you. Is that possible?

I believe this answers your question concerning owls in Guatemalan folklore.

The Mayans use owls to represent the power to rule others
for a king who once presided over the region now called Guatemala.
