Chichicastenango

I just love to say that name: "Chichicastenango." Come on...say it with me. You know you want to

Our second day in Guatemala, we took our chartered bus to a little town called Chichicastenango, a couple of hours northwest of Guatemala City.

This was our red limousine...it rode about as well as it looks.

 

This is ChiChi...looks like a fun town, right? You might be asking..."Just what is there to do in a town like that?" Only one thing...shop! Chichicastenango has a great market. You can find just about anything there:

Jewelry.

Cloth.

Live chickens bundled up in a plastic crate...you know...the usual.

There is also a beautiful church in the town.

Where it seems the whole town gathers...not necessarily to worship...but to...ummm..hock their wares.

Prime selling space, right there.
