Day Four




Today was one of those fun days. We went to Chichicastanego for the world famous market. It is color overload. I unfortunately didn't take many pictures because I have been there enough times to not think about it now. All I did for the day was show the team a few sites and let them loose. They apparently did well because there were quite a few bags stuffed in the van when we left.

A friend from Portland, Oregon, Judy Jones, met up with us in Chichi and will be with the team until Sun. She is then going to be taking Spanish lessons in Antigua, Guat. for two weeks.

Before we left Chichi Susie from mayanfamilies called me to let me know there was a Tuk Tuk ( 3 wheeled taxis ) strike. The Tuk Tuk drivers were protesting some road changes so we were not sure we were going to be able to get back into Pana since they had the roads blocked. The team felt they may need to stop along the way to grab some libations so Oswaldo our driver found a tienda for them. As it turns out the strike was over by the time we got there but the ride became more exciting. Everyone cleaned up and we had dinner at the Sunset Cafe.
