November 1 in Guatemala is All Saints Day. I went to see the giant kites (barriletes gigantes) in Santiago Sacatepequez. We got to the cemetery at 6:45am before the giant kites started going up and when the cemetery was still pretty empty. By 9am smaller kites were being flown and the giant kites started going up one by one, taking about 70 boys to push/pull each one up.
