    Wow, for a minute the tombstones looked like a gingerbread village.

    Well, with a fun name like Chichicastenango, how could anything be drab?

    Wow, very cool, a little morbid though no? Were these made with benjamin moore paints?

    If it was Benjamin Moore that would be a good idea, they have a great product... http://www.aboffs.com/paint.htm
