Sand Art


















Every year in Tegucigalpa there is a huge sand art display near Central Park. The street is shut down for blocks as the sand paintings are done on the street. Marc and I have never been down there before, but decided to go yesterday.


There is a big church in the park. There were vendors selling right in front of the church. As we walked through the park to get to the sand art, all I could think of was Jesus clearing the temple of the money changers.


The art was beautiful and some of it was quite intricate. Big, bold, beautiful colors. It looked like the plushest of carpets laid end to end. For someone like me that has an accountant mind and everything has to fit neatly in the box, I was amazed.


Many families were out strolling, looking at the art just like we were.


We have heard there is a big parade on Friday night and that the parade goes down the street where the sand art is, thus getting rid of the paintings. We did not stay to see if that is what happens. We enjoyed looking and then we went to get a frosty and came home.
