Checking out the markets of Guatemala - Canadian style

We arrived in Guatemala City at 10 o´clock last night after a long day of
travelling. We were up bright and early to learn about the city and prepare
for the exciting afternoon of exploring and shopping downtown Guatemala
City.
The morning was very ¨factual¨ as we took in information about the people of
Guatemala. Then we headed off for the market! We frolicked about the streets
of Guatemala and did a scavenger hunt to help explore and improve our
communication skills. Trying to use Spanish to barter is something that we
are not that good at. Steven is the master at the Spanish and is everyone´s
new best friend!
It was really fun to see all the food and merchandise and to try to do our
best at bartering. The people were all really open and friendly as they were
shouting ¨Buenos Dias!¨ and random welcoming messages that we couldn´t
understand - smiling is a universal language. We are all really enjoying our
time here and can´t wait for tomorrow where we will partcipate in a church
service and will play with the children. Adios!
