Day 2 of our Guatemala trip found me and Tony parting ways. He went on a day-long excursion to the Iximche ruins, while I spent the day with the rest of the bridesmaids getting pampered. I didn't take any photos that day, but Tony did! (Be thankful I didn't take photos, because most of them from the morning spa-portion would look like photo #11 in the last post. Lots of bonding happened, that's for sure!)
I can't take credit for the composition of these photos, which I think is absolutely outstanding. Tony is naturally talented in many things (fixing any machine of any kind that breaks, heavy (and not-so-heavy) lifting, etc.), but I wouldn't have guessed that photography is a natural talent of his. All that to say, I think these photos are spectacular and he did a wonderful job!
On the way to the ruins:
These colorfully decorated buses would travel from Guatemala City (and probably other parts of Guatemala) to Antigua. Guys would hang out the door yelling "GUATE, GUATE, GUATE!!!" This is what Tony and I so inappropriately called "chicken buses". I bet you can guess why...
The Iximche Ruins:
A ball court
A sacrificial altar.
A moat surrounding the ruined temple
Shamans performed a ceremony for the tourists...
A beautiful Sacrifice.
After the ruins, the tour guide took Tony and the other guests to one of the oldest (if not the oldest) church in Guatemala. Tony said the church was established in the mid-1500s, and has not succumbed to any of the numerous natural disasters (earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc.) that plaque the area.
Later that evening we all got together after the wedding rehearsal for a wonderful rehearsal dinner at the Welten. After a great meal and many heartfelt speeches, we were all escorted out to the street for a special fireworks show.
I was able to spend time with a friend from Trinity and fellow bridesmaid, Suzi. I was so happy to hang out with her! You can hear about her experience in Guatemala here!
This, my friends, was the fireworks show. El Torito Loco. This man basically wrapped a towel around his shoulders and shot BIG ASS fireworks off of his back. Not just dinky roman candles...like big "BOOM in the sky" fireworks. OFF HIS BACK, y'all!?!?! It was a pretty scary thing to watch, but quite memorable :). There's no way that man can hear.
Stay tuned for the photos I have of Tony's walking tour on the day of the wedding, a few shots from the ladies's brunch and the wedding reception. I didn't take too many the day of the wedding--I was unexpectedly emotional, and every time I took a photo of (or in) something that had to do with the wedding, I'd get all worked up.
Also, I'm planning on making online photo albums of ALL of the photos we took while in Guatemala to those who are interested (family and friends). I'll let you know when those albums get made :).
