These steep stairs in the bell tower of Iglesia Guadeloupe are so narrow they should be one way, except there’d be no way to get back down once you get up to the top. Even with the few people who were there the same time as we were, it took quite a bit of cooperation, and some backing up, to get everyone up and down. Fortunately there were a couple of landings like the one in this photo so people could wait for a break in traffic. At least the traffic gives you an excuse to rest if you happen to need one.]]>
POTD: Front Row Seats
These kids, and their parents in the background, were waiting for one of the nightly Purisima Concepción de Maria processions to come by in the week long celebration in early December.

Prior to the reception, I was interviewed for South Dakota Public Radio by Victoria Wicks. You can see a writeup and listen to the interview here.
