September 15 is Independence Day in Guatemala (and Central American countries). I captured the spirit of the celebrations is a few photos.
This is one of my favorites. A little Mayan girl with her head band, "Guatemala."
Cotton candy, ice cream and flags played a big part of the celebrations.
Most everyone had a headband.
Not far from our apartment there was a large gathering of people. It was so much fun to see so many people.
There was a very strong feeling of patriotism. The Guatemalan flag was everywhere.
People in all forms of transportation were enjoying the spirit of the day.
From the back of trucks and the tops of busses. People arrived for the celebrations. The events of the day can wear out the little ones.
School groups and Church groups of youth joined in torch runs. From the Obelisco to different locations throughout the city people ran in groups with torches.
It was great fun to see so many faces!
