OMYG, I just recalled the singing alleluyos from Guatemala today... funny what you remember, crave for, after a year of your visit to Guate no? Anyways, the aleluyos are the singing churches that populate all the highlands. They have a high-pitch sounding microfone where locals sing along their favorite religious tunes. I found thise anoying back them, but in retrospect it's facinating! Wish i had a pic... better yet, wish I had a tape of the locals singing them!

Preserve the local custums - Guatemala
Preserve the local custums

From my travels in Latin America, I've come to conclude that Guatemala has one of the most preserved native american cultures in the continent. The locals in the highlands all done their own unique clothes (even the men!). It's just an amazing country!
