Still at the Market


That last post didn't publish quite as planned... The list of things at the market continued with fresh meat, fresh vegetables, candles, appliances, bicycles, beds and anything else you can imagine... and some things that may surprise you. Yesterday, While in the market without the boys I saw this. It is a box of rainbow dyed live baby chicks, "cinco la mano" or five for 5 quetzales, roughly seventy cents in US dollars. While I took the photo a woman bought a purple one just because she felt bad for it.

This weekend we are off to the Pacific coast of Guatemala, to a beach town called Monterrico.

  1. Hey Saturnos!

    Hope everything is going well down in Guatemala. You're missing some choice winter weather: clear and cold. We're jealous of your shorts and t-shirts.

    4B is going to check out this blog this afternoon, and I'm sending the blog's address in today's 4B News. I'm sure students will check it out from home, too.

    We miss you, David! See you soon.

    Best,
    Mr. Brown

  2. How do they dye them? That is crazy. I hope it is just food coloring...

    Have fun in Monterico! Will you be there in time for turtle release?
