By 9:30 PM, everyone had arrived and all were settled-in at the Hotel Las Américas. Day 2, May 16, Introduction to Guatemala City Our tour guide and interpreter, Mario Soto, of Maya World Tours, led us on a wonderful tour of Guatemala City. The tour included a stop at the Parque Central and the Catedral de Santiago de Guatemala. Seen behind Mario are the memorial columns for victims of Guatemala s Civil War during the years 1960 to It was an honor to view the statue of Our Lady of during processions. Leaving the Catedral, we visited El Mapa en Relieve, a large topographical map of Guatemala and surrounding border countries.

At night, we prepared for our trip to Honduras and the Maya ruins of Copán.
3 Day 4, May 18, Travel day to Copán Ruinas, Honduras We traveled in style, thanks to Fidel Ovalle s skilled driving and the comfort of our Yutong Turismo Yawhe Nissi Motor Coach. Participants spread out with the luxury of two seats available for each person. A surprise morning break was a stop at El Chayal, an ancient Maya obsidian quarry.

His regalia centralization of power in the social and religious activity of the ancient Classic Period polity. [From Karrie Porter-Brace]
5 At the end of the day, Raúl explains the history and Stela M is the portrait of the 15th ruler, K ak' Yipyaj Chan K awil. By this time in the polity history, the social and spiritual responsibilities were spread among members of the ruling elite. His regalia was still very focused on the spiritual power of the central ruler, but there were others who participated in this ritual activity. Copán royal headdresses were made of long green quetzal feathers, with the central symbol a zoomorphic patron of the family lineage. Regalia also included collars and bracelets of jade beads. Elaborate sandals held feet in the mouth of earth monster patrons. [From Karrie Porter-Brace]
6 Day 6, May 20, Travel day to Guatemala City Our travel day to Guatemala City had three wonderful breaks. At a Shell gas station, Mario pointed out a cashew tree. This tree is working very hard to produce each and every cashew nut. No wonder they are so expensive! Down the road, we stopped in Estanzuela to visit the Museo de Paleontología, Arqueología, y Geología. In the main gallery, we encountered these extinct New World giants, a mastodonte and a Pan- American ground sloth. Before returning to our hotel in Guatemala City, we visited the park and church called El Cerrito del Carmen. We joined the Sunday paseo in the park and enjoyed Albert Celoza s rendition of Bésame Mucho while Connie Houde videotaped the performance.

7 Day 7, May 21, Travel day to Lago de Atitlán and Panajachel Our adventure around the shores of Lago de Atitlán was home-based in the town of Panajachel. From Pana we explored the towns and villages around the lake by boat. As we left Guatemala City behind, the beautiful countryside became our classroom. More and more, we saw people wearing their regional traje, such as this woman with her huipile (blouse), faja (belt), delantal (apron), and corte (skirt). Along the way, we stopped at the archaeological site La Ciudad de Iximché. In the up-close view of the beautifully decorated, former school buses, so prevalent in Guatemala.

8 Day 8, May 22, Group visits to San Juan La Laguna and Santa Catarina Palopó Lago de Atitlán has been called one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Situated at an altitude of With Mario s help, we boarded our blue and white boat, El Jefe (the boss). After arriving at the dock in San Juan la Laguna, we changed transportation to small, three-wheeled vehicles, called tuc-tucs. Participants Ann Braaten, Ann Zavoral, and MeeAe Oh-Ranck are ready for the bumpy ride. It required six tuc-tucs for the CSA procession from the water front to the women s textile cooperative, Casa Flor Ixcaco (House of the Ixcaco Mexican Cotton Flower), founded in 1996 by Teresa Ujpan Perez. member of the coop for eight years.

Colorful fajas (women s belts) provided shopping opportunities. After a full day on the lake, we still managed to explore Panajachel during free time. Participants visited the Museo Lacustre de Atitlán- Arqueología Maya SubAcuática (underwater archaeology), shopped, and/or basked in the hotel s spa.
10 Day 9, May 23, Group visits to Santiago de Atitlán and San Antonio Palopó Another glorious day on the lake. As we approached the Santiago de Atitlán dock, we observed women doing the family laundry. A parade of seven tuctucs delivered us to El Parque Padre A plas, a park named after a local priest, Blessed Stanley Rother of Okarche, Oklahoma, who was martyred during Guatemala s long civil war ( ). In this shady, quiet, and peaceful setting, we met with local members of Mayan Hands, a bi-national, fair trade, to empowering Maya women. Presently, there are communities in the Guatemala Highlands. Mayan Hands artisans demonstrated how to wrap the local headdress called a tocoyal. The narrow ribbon that creates the tocoyal is approximately ten yards long. The artisans Tz utujil Mayan language commentary was translated into Spanish by group leader Myra, and then encounter with three-level sequential translation. After completing their headdresses, four artisans modeled the regional traje. Before we re-boarded our tuc-tucs, Mayan Hands photo moment.

Participants learned about the ceramics process... and boosted the local economy by purchasing the During evening free time, we sampled local restaurants and repacked for tomorrow s journey to the mercado
11 Day 10, May 24, Chichicastenango and Antigua In the city s basketball gymnasium, we enjoyed the colors, smells, and Our gathering spot in Chichicastenango, Department of El Quiché, was the lush interior courtyard of Hotel Santo Tomás. From this beautiful space, Mario Soto, our guide, led us to the huge public market, held on Thursdays and Sundays. Leaving the gymnasium, we navigated the narrow passageways of the market and observed products such as yarn and wooden textile production items and kitchen utensils.

Lush gardens and fountains welcomed us. Seventeenth century art and thriving plants decorate the covered walkways. including made-to-order omelets. line the walkways.
14 Day 11, May 25, Antigua Thanks to Mario s network of colleagues in Antigua, we traded our free time for a morning visit to Jade Maya, the premier jade distributor in Guatemala. We were welcomed by the owner, archaeologist Mary Lou Ridinger. Mary Lou and her late husband Jay discovered an outcropping of jade near the Motagua River jade factory and retail store that same year. She also invited our group to return that evening for a reception and series of lectures about jade. Many of us did so. After Mary Lou s lecture and Shopping ensued. After our jade experience, we traveled a short plantation and museum. Mario led our tour of the Museo del Café and the roasting facility. After the music performance, we continued our tour of La Azotea, including the gallery of musical instruments and the gallery featuring environments and costumed mannequins. This wedding party is from Sumpango, Department of Sacatepéquez. After a typical Guatemalan lunch, a musical group from San Juan Comalapa, Department of Chimaltenango, played traditional Maya music. Música Maya AJ is led by Luis Calí, accompanied by his two brothers.
15 Day 12, May 26, Antigua and Guatemala City Saturday morning was devoted to exploring downtown Antigua with freedom to stop and enjoy the unexpected, such as this marching band from Jocotenango, Department of Sacatepéquez. During free time at Nim Po t Centro de Textiles Tradicionales, participants added Guatemalan textiles and handicrafts to their luggage weight allowance, including crocheted balls, placemats and napkins, and second-hand aprons. After free time, we continued to Guatemala City where we rechecked into Hotel las Américas. Nothing ends a supper more quickly than Roger and Vicki s announcement of tomorrow s airport departure schedule. Only a few hours of sleep for the early birds! Day 13, May 27, Guatemala City s Aurora International Airport and HOME! 9:30 AM with the third and last group. By the time we returned to the hotel, the Sunday promenade on Avenida sleepily, on the amazing adventures of the past two weeks.
