Quetzaltenango/Xela

Above: Marketplace in Xela where I bought all of my fruits and veggies for the week for under $15. USD. Man, it's gonna be hard to return to the states.

Above: El Mercado en Xela again. You can see the name of the city written on the city bus to the right. Two woman dressed in typical Guatemalan clothing. One carrying her wares on her head, as is customary here. They do have these handy little cushions that they use to soften the pressure directly on the crown. I have to say, ergonomically, this is much more effective to have weight directly a top the spine than to have it all weighing on the back the way the "backpackers" do around here. I have taken a lesson and am carrying my massage table around on my head.
