The market in Salcajá is every Tuesday and Saturday. Tuesday is the bigger day with animal (live ducks, chickens, cats, dogs, turtles, turkeys, etc... ) and furniture venders. People come from all over Quetzaltenango & Totonicapán for the market, as Salcajá is well known for their corte. The market has several blocks dedicated to the corte venders. There is also flowers, veggies, meat, spices, pirated cds & dvds, and much more. Mosiah and I try to buy as much as possible from the market as we just learned that our little super market, the ¨despenca familiar¨ is actually owned by Wal-Mart... The below pictures were taken this morning.

Mmmmm . . . Duck!
Sorry to have burst your Dispensa bubble. You need to steer clear of Maxi Bodegas too:)
Hey-
great photos! The fabric looks colorful. We are looking forward to seeing you in your new environment.
We're all about shopping local! Except the new Target store will be opening here next week.......
At least it's not Walmart :)
love, mom and dad
Hello from Michigan!
