Last Thursday afternoon, October 8th, the girls and I, along with the Freeds and Sheryl Leaman, visited a huge fruit and vegetable market in Guatemala City called Cenma (Central Market).
There were approximately six huge, open-sided warehouses, each filled with different kinds of fruits or vegetables.
This was the "tomato building." The tomato vendors would only sell their produce by the box.
There was one warehouse filled with onions. Folks were outside sorting the drying onions.
This little girl was resting in a basket near her mother.
Thankfully, most of the vendors allowed us to buy smaller quantities. I came home with lots: carrots, broccoli, lettuce, celery, green beans, potatoes, apples, strawberries, and pineapples - all for around 100 Q ($12).

Kinda puts Roots and Green Dragon to shame. Looks like a fun place.
