From my 2008 bus trip from San Diego to Guatemala. It was a bit more crowded. 20 buses carrying tourists were parked behind the church. I watched a funeral procession slowly carry a casket with a small child inside through the market. The church sat on the ruins of a Mayan temple, and exuded a mysterious, ancient vibe. Notice the smoke on the steps, just like in the video.

1992 looked more like 2008 (barely) than 1963, but they're all remarkably similar! Ah, Chichi...
