As we were driving back to Guatemala City on Christmas Day, we noticed 2 pickup trucks that were loaded to the gills with boxes, obviously presents for the kids along the road. We noticed one gal got a pink doll. She was ecstatic. I'm grateful for the Guatemalan company or family that decided to spend their Christmas morning handing out gifts to kids.
It is a Christmas tradition for people to throw candy out their car window on CA-1 to the children standing by the road waving feverishly. We have to be very careful that the children do not run in front of the traffic following behind us. I made sure to throw the candy out the window over their heads, so they run off the road and not onto the road.
