It's a fact: "Facebook llegó para quedarse". I'm a regular user and I can see the impact in the people's life. Everybody can know what you do, eat, think, feel or hate. Is it good?

 

Las Posadas

Visitors in Guatemala will be surprised tonight when they see groups of people, passing by the streets, this guatemalas will go with red lanterns, singing and playing the "tu-cu-ti-cu-tu" sound of turtle shells.

Las Posadas is a nine-day celebration with origins in Spain. "Posada" is Spanish for "lodging", or "accommodation"; it is said in plural because it is celebrated more than one day in that period. The nine day novena represents the nine months of pregnancy.
