Moving on

It is hard to believe that we´ve only been in San Marcos for a week. I think that because we have found such a rewarding way to experience this place--through volunteer work at La Cambalacha--and an inviting community as well, we have really felt at home. As a result, it feels like we have been here much longer.

Now we are getting ready to saddle up our backpacks again, hop the boat back over to Panajachel, and get on a bus to Chichicastenango, home of the biggest outdoor market in Central America. Vendors come from all around the Western Guatemalan highlands to hawk their goods to locals and tourists alike. We are ready for our senses to be overwhelmed.
