In Nicaragua

On my first day in Nicaragua, in the town of Masaya, I happened upon a funeral procession. The casket was placed in a black ornate horse drawn carriage. The horses were draped in beautifully crocheted white blankets. I crossed paths with this tradition twice more during my travels. The family, friends, and neighbors follow behind on foot quietly, no music. It was silent. It was simple beautiful.
