DO YOU HAVE TIME TO READ?

My nanny was a pure central american native just like this beautiful woman in the photo.
A direct descendant of the Mayas......
She came to our house to take care of my sister, who was one year older than me....and she stayed forever.
I loved her like a second mother.....she died in our house at very old age....but she is alive in my heart.

I knew she was from Nahuizalco a little town, where a very few survivors still live.
I visited this place for the first time a few weeks ago and to my delight and surprise,
when we arrived to the town I saw this old beautiful woman walking up the street.

There are only a few natives who still wear these beautiful clothes,
my nanny used the same colorful skirts.....and was also bare foot.
I jumped out of the car, and walked silently behind her taking several pictures.
Then I talked to her about my nanny.....she smiled and started to speak in nahuat, our beautiful native language.(She is 85 years old)

I also took some portraits of her ,that I will publish later.
The street looks so shiny because it was wet....people pour water on the streets to avoid the dust of the cars.

95% of the street had neutral gray colors.....only a few elements at the right on the walkside had colors, so I decided to desturate them.
