The Sweet Buy and Buy

Shopping in Guatemala is a blast, with street vendors, artisan markets and modern malls.

Yes, that is a dead rooster she is carrying.
Chicken-to-go, anyone?
This chicken-in-a-bag is even fresher.
In fact, it's still alive.
Vendor and Spender.
Milk run! Guatemala City style.
Guatemalan art
Angels in pajamas
(the wood carvings, not the people)
Barbecue pork. Yum!
(But does the pig  really still need his sunglasses?)
Which one do you like best? It's a tie!
Fruits, veggies (and a nut in the back)
This woman worked 9 hours a day
 for 38 days to weave this wall hanging.
We bought this wall hanging
for her asking price of 38 U. S. dollars.
Vending can be hard
and sometimes discouraging work.
Market day fun
Guatemala also has gigantic modern malls.
And, of course, there's always Walmart!
