QUINCE

Today, September 15, is Guatemalan Independence Day, a special holiday often referred to as QUINCE (or "fifteen" in Spanish). Even though it has been raining here quite steadily over the past few days, it hasn't stopped the Guatemalan people from carrying out their traditions of parades, fireworks, and carrying torches through the streets like it's the Olympics. This country seriously knows how to celebrate! Here are a couple of pictures from Emanuel and Debora's school program last week. Felicidades!
