Maybe the next time i go which will be in the summer, I will take some pictures and share them with you. Thank you for giving me some pictures of the country that I love the most, even if I was born in the United States. thank you very much!<br /><br />Josefina CastellanosAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04298866622247634463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089868875915873819.post-60217054366719877042007-07-26T10:53:00.000-06:002007-07-26T10:53:00.000-06:00Hi Juan,I'm glad you dropped by . . . and I've ver...Hi Juan,<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you dropped by . . . and I've very glad you enjoyed the pictures of Gracias.

My d...Hi Lorri - I'm so glad you like the pictures. My daughter took them, I did the choosing, and cropped some of them. <BR/><BR/>I believe the doll simply represents that the wives of farmers are always pregnant, or are carrying small children while they work. The remarkable 'whiteness' of the doll stems from the remarkable unavailability of ethnically appropriate dolls here, I think!<BR/><BR/>Hey Sharon - Lempira Day is the 20th of July. If you come, make sure to reserve hotel space, as things get full during the festivities. I'd recommend Hotel Guancascos, or the Hotel Finca El Capitan. Both are very nice. Froni, at Guancascos, speaks English, and would be able to give you specific info on the dates and times of the activities.<BR/><BR/>The patches, I think, are just to show how exceptionally poor the farmers are. This part of Honduras has been officially recognized by the current government as the poorest part of Honduras . . . which, you'll have to agree, is really saying something!<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures!Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00707876118083759696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089868875915873819.post-8284064331953675722007-07-21T11:19:00.000-06:002007-07-21T11:19:00.000-06:00Dear Trish:What gorgeous costumes and lovely photo...Dear Trish:<BR/>What gorgeous costumes and lovely photos. What day of the year do they celebrate this holiday? Maybe next year my husband and I could attend. Also, is there a significance for the colored patches on the shirt and jeans of the men in one of the photos? Thanks again for sharing and what a lovely festival and imaginative costumes.<BR/>Guanaja SharonGuanaja Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05988022509539015923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8089868875915873819.post-38335945803792854702007-07-21T07:39:00.000-06:002007-07-21T07:39:00.000-06:00Great pictures, thanks so much for sharing!
