On the Thursday before Easter, my mom, me and some friends went to San Antonio Palopó. San Antonio Palopó is a little town that is on the complete other side of the lake from us. We went to San Antonio Palopó for their Pascua (Easter) celebrations which are set up by the Catholic church.
In the town, they make colored sawdust blankets called alfombras. To make the alfombras, first you lay down the plain sawdust, then you use spray paint to color the base, next you lay down a stencil and fill in the gaps with colored sawdust, finally take of the stencil and start a new one.
Also, the women there wear "hair crowns" as their traditional dress. Over all, I liked going to San Antonio Palopó and I think that it was very fun and amazing.
