A series of pictures I took while going round a block (literally) on the way to work. These are the types of scenes my eyes catch when I have been on the States for a while and that stop jumping out at me once I have been in Guatemala for some time...

A car parked with a plastic for a window
A works man cafeteria, where one can have in the morning a licuado de frutas and a pan con frijoles for probably a $1.00. For lunch you can get a $1.50 lunch complete with meet, rice, vegetables and tortillas.
