Through my eyes...

I think that all of these pictures are beautiful, but maybe not beautiful in the traditional sense. Beautiful in the traditional sense would be like the ballet or a Michelangelo; but these are not so traditional. These pictures, through my eyes, are beautiful in the sense that slightly crooked teeth are beautiful, laugh lines are beautiful, and lightning storms or really dark thunder clouds in the distance are beautiful.

This is a shot of just an average neighborhood...





This was taken at a park, which is just slightly off the beaten track. All throughout the park are Mayan architecture and places for kids to play. I love it there, and until I find another cool little gem, this is my favorite park.

These pictures were taken while I was waiting for a rapidito to take me home. On Sundays, the rapiditos change their location to this tiny side street, and I was able to talk with these kids and watch them play. I wish I could have been able to join in on the fun, but alas my bus left.

This picture is of the Catedral del Sagrado Corazon just on the outskirts of El Centro. It is not near as big as the main cathedral in the heart of El Centro, but I love all the details in this building. There are also some really cool market streets that fan out from this location, and I always see some kind of street performer or street preaching going on...the cool kind of street preaching and not the soap-box kind.
