Today is Mother’s Day here in Guatemala, (it’s always on May 10th) and they celebrate it in a very different way than we’re use to in the USA. At about 4 in the morning people started setting off fireworks, and the fireworks continued all throughout the early morning until about 8. There was all sorts of noise from the streets.  Kinda crazy if you ask me; I would have thought that most mothers would enjoy sleeping in! We spent the day with Yuliza’s family and had a great time cooking for them tonight to celebrate.

Father’s day is just around the corner, and it should be just as loud…
