On Jan. 30, our family went to the town of San Juan Sacatepequez to visit the Friday market.
It was very interesting, because this market had no "tourist" items for sale. There were lots of fruit and vegetable vendors.
I was amazed by the variety of beautiful native costumes worn by the women. Each town has its own distinct pattern of weaving. If you are knowledgable, you can identify which town the women are from by the clothes they are wearing.
I bought some tomatoes from this lady.
There were lots of whole chickens for sale in the meat market. We also saw iguana meat.
While in San Juan, we stopped at Pollo Campero for our favorite treat - ice cream cones! Tony certainly enjoyed his!
