OFFICIAL GUATEMALA CITY CHRONICLER


I am here with Miguel Ángel Álvarez Arévalo, official Chronicler of the City of Guatemala.  That means he is the one in charge of keeping all relevant account which will then be the history of Guatemala. Miguel Angel Alvarez Alvarado is an erudite historian. I have had the opportunity of interacting with him at social gatherings. He is humble, yet  the knowledge he has transpires immediately. He is a keen listener and observer, always willing to expand in any history subject he is questioned about.

I took this picture on during Easter Week 2009. I was waiting for my "turn" to bear the float (that is why I am with my mantilla over my head). Mr. Álvarez was another spectator of the Candelaria procession

I had so many posts for Easter that I left this one out but today that I went to the Railroad Museum I was reminded of it when I saw the name of the main exhibit hall was "Miguel Ángel Álvarez Arévalo".
