Amatitlan is one of the larger communities in the Sierra. We arrive there in the afternoon and were impressed with the cleanliness of the town , then newly paved streets and the “Palo Volador”. I noticed a number of women wearing traditional blouses. The village leader was not around and so we ended up walking around until I spotted a woman in her home. We talked and she agreed to allow her picture to be taken. We then went to another house and were also able to find a woman that was will to participate.
