It's that time again!






















Where I live, Easter and Holy Week are the biggest weeks of the year. It's such a cultural experience each year for us that I really love it! Here are some pictures of Antigua this time of year. I love the sawdust carpets (yes, folks, that is colored sawdust that they use to make those incredible carpets all over the streets of Antigua! Also, I love the costumes and pageantry. It's really an incredible sight. On Easter Sunday, there is the final procession proclaiming Jesus' resurrection from the dead. That's a great one! The music is happy and joyful and the people rejoice in the streets. It's fun!

I was lucky enough to travel to your fair city way back in 1990. We saw one of the Easter festivals, it was amazing. You live in an amazing city and a beautiful country. I hope to return one day with my my family.
