Chichicastenango

This is the view from where we sit and eat breakfast each morning at our hotel. Volcano Agua stands majestically in the background.

The market in Chichicastenango is held every Sunday and Thursday. On the steps of the church, the Mayan people burn incense and carry out Mayan rituals, which they integrate into their Catholic faith.

The local people, as well as tourists, frequent this market.

Lavina and Heather strolling the market. We all made our share of fabulous purchases yesterday.
