Welcome back to Hourless Life where we're driving around the world. This week we are in Antigua, Guatemala, for Semana Santa (Holy Week).
In this week's video, we take you along with us into downtown Antigua, Guatemala, on Good Friday. We'll show you this incredible UNESCO World Heritage city, marvel at the amazing alfombras, and put you front and center for a mind-blowing procession over the cobblestone streets.
We hope you enjoy the journey along with us!

Hi Eric Brittany and Caspian …how lovely to see this. I’m writing this on Easter Sunday, the most glorious day in the Christian calendar. Being a Christian myself, I am most humbled to see the dedication by those people telling the story of Holy Week. It was a joy to behold as was Caspian’s part in the narration also. Lovely too, to see his little friend come over and join him. As always guys, thank you for sharing another lovely video and giving us a wonderful insight into what goes on in the world. Hope you all have a very Happy Easter 🐣…. Marilyn.

@HourlessLife 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you Marilyn! We had a blessed Easter even though Brittany caught a stomach bug and was laid up most of the day. We talked a little bit about that on our Patreon, but I wanted to let you know as a frequent commenter. She's much better tonight, but it was a bit of a tough day and a half for her. Still we were blessed and it was a joy to watch Caspian run around searching for his Easter treats that the Easter bunny left. He marveled that the bunny found him all the way in Guatemala. ~ Eric

@@HourlessLife …aww thank you Eric. I really appreciate you telling me about Caspian’s Easter treat experience. His innocence is a beautiful thing … long may it last.. Lol. I’m terribly sorry to hear about Brittany though. These tummy bugs can be vicious things. I really hope that she’s over the worst of it now and I know both you and Caspian would look after her well. You are always in my prayers so stay safe and keep enjoying your journey. Sending you all much love 💕

Thanks for sharing. Is so rich and beautiful the United Kingdom of Guatemala established since 1609 and that extends from El Soconusco (today Chiapas) to part of Panama. Guatemala is 12th producer of silver in the world and 20th producer of gold besides having massive reserves of nickel, jade and so many other natural resources too bad for almost a century big foreign multinational anglosaxon corporations have been taking almost everything. Long live Juan Santamaria the heroe of Costa Rica who died in battle against the anglo pirates. The Malvinas belong to Argentina 🇦🇷, The Esequibo belongs to Venezuela 🇻🇪 and Belice belongs to Guatemala 🇬🇹. Guatemala exploited and sabotaged for almost a century but never gives up. God bless

Hi guys love the video. Whats the loaded weight of the rig?

@HourlessLife 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Solo. Glad you enjoyed the video. We did a weigh in FULLY loaded with all extra fuel and full water to the brim and came out at 7480 gross, 2980 steer and 4500 drive. But we don't run it this way. We usually have about 1/2 water and very little extra fuel. So the weights are significantly less. Also we have Dobinsons coil springs that help mitigate the weight that are actually rated for more than what we carry even fully loaded. There is no sag in DAUNTLESS. We've been really happy with the build and drive. Also the roads down here are unforgiving and he's been a champ through it all. But it is a long road to go. Ask me in another year. ~ Eric

We enjoy the video just few coments , the people that wash clothes there in the Historic TANQUE LA UNION , has water at Home , but is cultural to them to do there , because is time for chat , and meet friends , also this tank is famous because people there say that the Criying Woman , [ LA LLORONA], is trying to find her children and there is a spot she likes to visit, another Ghost there is The SIGUANABA a woman very atractive when you see walking but you follow her and in some moment she turns her face to you and she has a horse face , usually she walks to men that are early in the morning walking in the empty streets , and also there another ghost EL CADEJO , a dog that walks with the drunk men and guards nothing bad happens to them , also the people is very religious and they Carry a THRONE not a Float , and this is very elavorated Masterpiece and is Bless before starts the Journey , ANTIGUA Was The Capital of Chiapas and All Central America for three centuries after it moves to Guatemala city for another Century,
