The Journey Back to Huehuetenango

There were some interesting shots on the journey back to Huehuetenango that afternoon. 
  • Wood is so important in Guatemalan culture.  It provides heat and fire for cooking.  All along the roadside, we see people with loads of wood of their backs or heads.  It is a constant daily chore.  This particular tree had been "trimmed" and the wood stacked to be carried home another day.
  • We passed several houses and tiendas with some beautiful doors and windows.
  • The "hill" is actually made of garbage...tons and tons of garbage stacked high. 
  • The fog continued falling and lifting off and on the journey.
  • Again we passed through the high altitude.
  • I love the shot of shepherds and sheep. 
  • Then the afternoon sky gave another brillant display.
