A while ago, a dear lady I know in the Cybersphere went to Guatemala and was so kind to send me back some souvenirs. Because I am as slow as molasses, I am just now posting about this.
I asked for a postcard, since that is what I collect, but she sent me six. That was so nice! I love to take a look at other places.

La Antiqua, literally "old," is the old town of Guatemala City. Antigua Guatemala is a World Heritage Site and is known for its Spanish Baroque architecture. Just check out that church fascade in the lower, right postcard.
Much to my surprise, some other things came along with the postcards.
I received a zippered pouch, two tiny dolls, and Guatemalan coffee. That coffee bag is empty because we drank the coffee. It was more like Cuban, less like American. I was sad when it was finished.
Thanks, Friend, I really appreciate you thinking of me. You are very sweet and I was thrilled to get your package.
You're welcome! I was especially entrigued by the story of the dolls. It's an interesting tradition, but I love knowing that I can take my troubles to Jesus for real help.
Rebecca, I think the dolls will visit my daughter's dollhouse as friends from Guatemala, but I can't decide how to best use the bag. I think in my purse.
