Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That’s certainly the case for the window above. This is not everybody’s cup of tea, you know.
Niños de Guatemala Sign
If I started a series about the NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations) headquartered in La Antigua Guatemala, one per day, I could probably go a full year without repeating once.
