Mar 31 - Preparations for Palm Sunday





Preparing the sawdust for the 'alfombra' (literally: carpet) that the Escuela Sevilla will lay down in the street in front of the school tomorrow, Palm Sunday.

Dye is dissolved in a bucket of water, and is then poured over raw (wood-colored) sawdust. This then needs to be mixed by hand to disperse the color throughout the whole pile of sawdust.














Many hands make light work.

Teachers and students all pitch in.









Mar 30 - Return to Antigua

The welcome home sunset in Antigua was hazy yet  beautiful-as-ever, coming after a few drops of rain. Here viewed from the rooftop terrace at El Mirador

12.31 Cancun soundtrack

The background sound-track to my time in Cancun is

 'Tonight's Gonna Be a Good Night' remixed by DJ David Guetta,

along with LMFAO's 'I'm Sexy and I Know It' (hilarious) -- check out the video on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQVD5dnP3dk&feature=related

There's a parody of it, but you've gotta wonder how this could be more of a parody than it already is.
