Santiago Sacatapequez cemetery, like all others in the country, becomes a party for All Saints Day, with pizza, soda, beer, ice cream sellers, people bringing picnics, kids and adults running around launching kites - "barrilettes" ... some small, some mediums and some enormous. Some flew a bit and crashed, some of the gigantic ones just cannot fly at all.

On the way ... many food and drinks stsnads, this one peeling oranges
The Che Guevarra kite did not fly much. Teams, running through the cemetery, holding its long rope, got it aloft a few times, but it was too heavy and came down, into the hands of the waiting people
People stood atop graves, eating, drinking, flying kites, or just watching
