Well, lets see. Today is Sunday, another bright sunny day here in San Cristobal so how about a stroll down to the craft market?
The first thing we pass is El Centro, basically the center of town. It is a nice little park with a restaurant in the middle. It’s not obvious from the picture but there are about twenty shoe-shine stands surrounding the restaurant.
As we go on down the street, we are overtaken by a parade. As the sign says, this one is called Viva La Santisima, Virgen de Candelaria which means something like “Long Live the Blessed Virgin of Candelaria.”

Yeah, I really never go there with the intent of buying anything but so far I’ve bought a pullover, a shirt, and a shoulder bag. That means I’ve got to throw something away when I leave here. Oh well, some of my stuff is dirty anyway. 🙂
