Today is new years eve and i have been drinking rum with Marvin since the morning. Oops! Kylie is feeling bad in the stomach so I thought the blog would be good to update. The 29th, Sunday, we took a chicken bus to Chichicastenango, a very touristy town that is renowned for is local textiles, but I feel that it´s too touristy. After a two hour ride on a bus we arrived. It was full of tourist and all of the vendors were selling goods directed towards the gringo crowd.
Every vendor tried to sell good at three times the price to us, but soon asked for less when we just walked away.
Ruby, our friend from Australia, bought almost a thousand quetzales in good for family back home. We were in the market the whole day. Here is a pic of the local cemetery.
ChiChi was fun but too exploited to be really Guatemalan.
