Obligatory Foreign Country Market Shots

Mercado de Santo Tomas

(This is a slideshow, btw. Click on the picture for more...)

It's about time for some of these, right?

This weekend are two big Guatemalan holidays -- Dia de los Muertos y Dia de Todos los Santos. We don't usually have market on Fridays, but in preparation for the holidays there was one today, and I decided to take advantage of the unusual abundance of flowers. Tomorrow and Sunday these will be blooming all over the Santo Tomas Cemetary. I, however, will be in Xela (aka Quetzaltenango) with Dra. Estrada, who invited me to come meet her family and celebrate the holiday with them.
