Throughout the cemetery are achieved xela how are you finding statues (many already incomplete) as and read the inscriptions and many have been here for over 150 years and are made of marble exported from Italy.

The heart shaped angel with heaven acsenso this scene is really no work sculpture in relief, statues of angels and souls are often mistaken for representing similar characteristics, this statue for example indicates that the wings are the preserve of figures of angels heavenly messengers and guides that help the soul to traffic light.

Por todo el cementerio de xela se logran encontrar estatuas como estas (muchas ya incompletas) según e leido en las inscripciones y muchas están aqui desde hace mas de 150 años y son hechas de marmol exportado desde italia.

El alma con forma de angel con acsenso al cielo esta escena no se encuentra realmente en escultura si no se trabaja en relieve, las estatuas de almas y angeles suelen confundirse por representar características similares, esta estatua por ejemplo indica que las alas son atributo exclusivo de figuras de angeles mensajeros y guías celestiales que ayudan al ánima al tránsito de su luz.

I can bet that when they read the title of the photo you are scared! but no quiet is just a couch with a skull carved back, this almost always see in places of piercings, tattoos, skates, etc.. Have you seen anything more sinister than that?

Puedo apostar que cuando leyeron el título de la foto ustedes se asustaron! pero nó tranquilos es solo un sofa con un grafiti de una Calavera atrás, esto casi siempre lo vemos en lugares de perforaciones, tatuajes, skates, etc. ¿Haz visto algo más tenebroso que esto?

It’s that time again! Processions, cotton candy, too many people in the streets annnnd……marching bands!! Feria is upon us and everyone is happy. The downside is the noise pollution, while in some parts of the city it’s under control, but here in the center, I can currently hear 3 songs playing at once; one marimba, one bachata and the other is…Adele…? Yes. I LOVE feria!

Windows and doors give us a possibility of going “inside”…or outside for that matter. I read a very good quote the other day that said, that God often closes a door and opens a window, but we look so long at the closed door, we don’t even SEE the open window. Ahhh, sage advice.

The roads in Xela, especially in the core are known for being beautiful and hilly and cobblestone and….dangerous. It just gives me even more appreciation for the lovely women here who wear heels all day long!

It seems like these days, there is a “Day” for everything and I am not a big fan of all of that. Secretary Day, Teacher Day, Lawyer Day…really? Can’t we just celebrate who we all are everyday? Then again I am not a fan of other holidays either, like Valentines Day, etc. But to be honest, I DO like the International Day of the Indigenous Woman. I’m not sure I like celebrating every possible profession, race or gender that exists, but the artwork and education that surrounds these ‘holidays’ is often outstanding and worth the attention.

Just a little glance out of the Minerva Temple into the gardens behind the Zoo, on a peaceful Xela afternoon.

Xela is now officially on Google Earth and now you can see some of your favorite spots from the sky! Such as this cool aerial Central Park shot, sent in by guest contributor Sergio Dominguez.

Xela has so many very talented, local artists on display, whether it be in the street art or in the restaurants; you only have to look around. Here is one of the many, many colorful corners of mural work in Cafe Red, as captured by guest contributor Jose Moreno.

Day in, day out, the vendors are at the market. Come rain or shine, they are there, dedicated to selling their goods, no matter how great their stall is or how tiny their baskets are. In so many ways, I admire their tenacity and fortitude.
