Chi Chi

Hello All,

Lisa, Sarah, Charlie and I went to Chi Chi over the weekend. Right at the moment I can't remember how to spell the city name correctly, but it is something like Chichicanstanago, but everyone calls it Chi Chi.

Chi Chi is mainly known for its' market. Every Sunday people come from all over the country to set up their little booth selling anything from pottery to bags, to hand-made crafts. And there are also the other people coming from all over the country to buy these things.

It is really popular with tourists who want to buy gifts for there friends and families at a really cheap prices. This wasn't me though :-) No gifts for anyone this year...ha ha. No I would love to bring things back, but as I am going to be traveling for six more months this is really possible.

I was really impressed with how many people there were and the selection of the crafts. It was amazing to see this massive market form before your eyes and the vanish again. The work that goes into carry these goods is impressive. Lisa and Sarah bought a lot of things and then we had lunch. It just so happened that a group from Celas Maya was there so we got to catch up with a lot of students that we haven't seen in a while.

All in all it was a great day trip.

Take care,
Craig
