Panajachel JAN 27 leaving and loading up the vans
We said good bye to spectacular Panajachel after a yummy breakfast - which included fresh squeezed orange juice - and loaded up the van at 8 a.m.

Up goes the luggage and in go the people and off we go to Chichicastenango!

Chichi - en route -scene from the van window
Everywhere along the highway there were groups of people ready to sell their wares when cars, vans and buses were stopped by the road construction.

Chichi - our van got stuck behind a belching Chicken Bus
We tried to hold our breath as the buses sent out these fumes

Chichi - a busy Sunday
The Chichicastenango Market is apparently best visted on a Sunday -and we were certainly welcomed! Vendors start setting up at dawn.

Chichi -masks for sale
There were many temptations for us!

Chichi -wood for making the weaving looms
There were weavers working here and there -and looms being made.
