This woman says to Don, "This shirt is for you," and after much negotiation, she was right!

Crowds gather as a Mayan procession approaches on the steps of the 400 year old church, Santo Tomas, built on top of pre-Colombian platform. The steps used to lead up to pre-Hispanic Mayan temple.

This two-man band accompanies the Mayan procession.

Don maintains a safe distance to video the procession.

I move in for a closer look, and end up next to the deafening firecracker ball!

Part of the Mayan procession

Fresh flowers for sale in the Chichicastenango market.

More floats as a part of the Mayan procession. Once we left the market a couple of hours later, we saw them still walking down the road, playing their instruments and burning incense.

The "Chichi" market had stand after stand of beautifully embroidered handicrafts, table runners, and huipils (woven Mayan blouses, the garments with the holes in the center along the back wall.)

Don shops for Guatemalan belt and debates his waist size after dropping a few pounds along his 3 month trip.
