THE EQUINOX OF SPRING

On the equinox of spring I give you a picture of a rug of jacarandas the quintessential sign of primavera in Guatemala.

HOJA de la SUERTE - LUCKY LEAF-

I am at the Cooperacion Espanola Training Center, at Antigua Guatemala and I was attracted by this common green in Guatemala. It is called Hoja de la Suerte, meaning Lucky Leaf. Maybe I was particullarly attracted today because I feel so lucky to be in the training I am at, exercising my right to education!!
