a little glimpse of day-to-day in San Pedro..
the morning market was probably my favourite part of town. i loved milling around the busy market with all the women with their straw baskets... people watching, chatting with vendors, buying mangos to snack on (and making a mess of myself in the street... )...
weighing out apples to buy
chocolate covered strawberries for 1 Quetzal ! (ie, 10 cents)
fabrics for sale... i loved how colourful this town is! women wear these wrapped around like a skirt
lunchtime in town! my mom Maria usually cooked for me but one day we went up to the marketplace together for a big town lunch!
lots of people out for lunch!
some kind of chicken, veggie & rice soup - served with boiled/steamed (not sure!) corn dough wrapped in some kind of palm leaf. mmmm! :)
a talented lady bringing her veggies to the market
the main road in San Pedro (there's my school on the left - Cooperativa!)
tuc tuc's - the 3 wheeled-way to get around town. i didn't use these much since everywhere i went was walking distance, but we did take one to a neighbouring town once, and that was pretty fun! :)
kids walking home from school
horses also making their way through the streets with bundles of wood (for real-fire stoves for making tortillas)
another spanish school in the town... my namesake school (rainbow = arco iris)!
hopscotch and visits from kids in the street
there was nowhere in town without a stunningly beautiful view...
