Trip to El Mercado

Today after school we went to the market to look for playeras de futbol or soccer jerseys (knock-offs, of course). The price started at around $8.00 US and we bargained them down to $5.00. Cenzo and Giancarlo chose Barcelona Jerseys. Cenzo got Ibrahimovic, Giancarlo got Messi. David chose a shirt from here in Antigua: Antigua GFC. See photos.

We took a tuk-tuk both to and from the market. A tuk-tuk is a cab made from a moped tricycle with a roof put on it. Our driver home was muy machisto. He was a very aggressive driver, cutting off buses and weaving through traffic. He was kind enough to let us take a picture, but David thinks he looks like a psychopath in the photo. Halfway through the ride Giancarlo shouted above the noise: "Tuk-tuks are the awesomest! When I grow up I wanna be a tuk-tuk driver! I think I'm gonna drive like this guy!" We all started laughing out loud and I made a parental mental note to keep Giancarlo out of tuk-tuks.
