Postales lejanas es una serie semanal en la que el equipo internacional de NPR comparte momentos de su vida y su trabajo en todo el mundo.

I was taking my 12-year-old daughter on her first-ever trip overseas, to Antigua, Guatemala. International travel always brings a new perspective, and that was especially true as I was seeing a different country through her wide, awe-filled eyes.

While visiting a museum of Indigenous textiles in a town a few miles outside the city, I spotted this lovely hanging planter in the shape of a bird. As I got closer, I realized it was made entirely out of an old tire. It’s an ingenious example of reusing trash to make something beautiful. And it’s a reminder that culture is everywhere if you let your eye linger.
