November 2003 - Santiago,
Sacatepequez
In Guatemala, On
November 1st, people visit the dead to give them a big party right in the
cemetery. Thousands of cemeteries are brightly decorated. Two, in
Santiago Sacatepequez and in Sumpango, each only 10-15 miles from Antigua, are
also known for their "Giant kites", "Barrilettes gigantes", that they've made
for over 100 years. Tens of thousands of people go to see them. We
did, too.
