One of the things I love about Guatemala is all the children.  Here are two indigenous children, one dressed traditionally and one in western dress.

Children play outside.  In Cerro Alto it was common to see a soccer game going on in the street.  When a car would come, they would run to the side and resume when the car passed.

Bakeries are common, and they may well make the best cakes in the world!

A classroom in Guatemala.  There is another row of chairs that you cannot see in this photo.  Most of the classrooms had at least 30 children in them.  One had 46.

Soccer is the favorite sport.  They were quite excited to learn that people from the U.S. are finally interested in watching the World Cup.
