Driveway around Xela Temple, this is the east portion. Overlooking the city of Quetzaltenango. The people here call the city, Xela, (pronounced Chella) There are a lot of touns and villages with the "tenango" on the end of them. We found out that it is like the "ville" we have on the end of a lot of our towns - such as Henrieville.
