Guatemala 2025 - Magnet Edition

Better late than never, I guess.  The last set of travel magnets collected during our Guatemalan adventures earlier this year are available in the Travel Magnet tab at the top of the blog.  We purchased eighteen magnets from the trip.  They are a mixture of the nice and the cheap.  Here are a few of my favorites:
A carved wooden Jaguar mask.

A magnet that incorporates actual lava from Pacaya volcano.
(On the back it indicates it is from a 2010 eruption.)

A wooden magnet incorporating Mayan textile.

My favorite is from Orchigonia.
Several of the magnets we bought appear to be handmade which makes them special.  Others are more generic and labeled with a sharpie.  Still, they all prompt my memory and bring me a little joy.
