Chichicastenango

What a trip. We set off early on Sunday morning for a three hour hair raising drive to Chichicastenango along a windy road around a mountain!!!!!  Diego our driver worked his magic avoiding the many potholes and the Chicken buses that are important means of transportation in Guatemala.
When we arrived in ChiChi as it is known........the market was in full swing, jam packed and not for the faint of heart.  You need your wits about you and forget trying to barter, vendors came out of nowhere.  You quickly realize if you "touch" or "look" at something then you are bound to be pursued as interested.  Sunday is  also a market day for many Guatemalans too hence the large crowd.
