I arrived in the city of Huehuetenango the Wednesday before Easter hoping to travel further into the highlands the following day. Little did I know that the whole of Huehuetenango would be shut down on Holy Thursday a an unofficial “hang over” day after Huehuetenago Day celebrations on the Wednesday night – food and music including a “battle of the marimbas” in the main plaza until the wee hours. So there was no transport to be had and Thursady was very dull day indeed.
