I got some photo access. This cat hates me.
Caught this shot of a rad carnival ride on a trip to check out the (Bootleg) Black Jesus of Esquipula, not actually in Esuipula, but rather in Chiquilaja. The (Original) Black Jesus of Esquipula, in Esquipula, was sculpted by a Portuguese traveler hundreds of years ago. Syncretism in full effect: it was built on the spot where a Mayan deity was then still worshipped.
They built another one in Chiquilaja, so people wouldn't have to travel so far for the veneration. Went to Mass, tried to shoot a little metal star with a bb gun, failed, lost Q5 in the deal.
I love these skate-rat catchphrases graffitied all over the city of Xela.
These are wonderful people.
