We arrived in Guatemala City around 6 in the morning. Red eye flights are never fun. Especially since we have stuff planned for the whole day. Thursday's are market days in Chichicastenango. So that is where we were headed first. When we arrived we went to a hotel/museum. This is where we saw these awesome parrots. They were the first birds to greet us in Spanish "Hola!"
We went to a couple different places in Chichi. This lady is part of a co-op. This is where we first saw how they did their weaving which had been passed down from generation to generation.
She asked for a male volunteer. I talked Chad into going up to get dressed in the traditional clothing of the Maya people.
All of the buildings we saw were located inside the market of Chichi. There were mobs of people trying to sell us stuff. They would never go inside which I found interesting. However, they always waited outside.
We were exhausted by the time we finally made it to our hotel. Hotel Atitlan, located on Lake Atitlan. The grounds were so awesome. The last of the pictures are our hotel.

You aren't kidding! The grounds look amazing-although it doesn't take much green to impress someone like me from the desert! I really was blown away with how beautiful it looks.
