We made a day trip to Chichicastenango from Lake Atitlan where we are staying. This pretty highland town is famed for holding the biggest and best market in Guatemala where all the indigenous peoples come to sell their wears. Everything from cloths and clothes and maize and chickens.
Pete was kind enough to come with me and take on the crowds with an early start. It was worth it to see all the goods and the indigenous women in their colourful clothes. Stunning!
I also picked up a couple of gifts, including a beautiful peice of hand woven cloth for Lu Lu that I promised and a handbag for myself. Nice!
