Today we decided to try and go back to the market. Only this time we were not going to drive. We took the bus, sort of. On the way to Lafragua, (we were walking there) We ran into Greg Miller. And he took us to the post office. Check! We delivered the letters and picked up the mail for HOH. But as we were leaving mom wanted a picture of the lady putting the stamps on the letter. The lady looked annoyed, but she couldn't tell us so. So now we have a picture of a lady (she doesn't even look Guatemalan) putting a stamp on a letter. Whatever. So we stopped at Fancy's, ate lunch, talked to our friend the waiter. On our way back, we went through the market, tried to buy a hammock from a man who couldn't read or write. That was interesting. We came out of the market and ran into a taxi/van, the driver was going to Lafragua, so we hopped on. As we are turning onto the street that lead into Lafragua, he asked us where we were going, (in English) And we told him Oasis. He knew right where we were talking about. Turns out, he used to take Rosemary to the campus all the time and he is very well known through out the campus. He took us there and would have given us the ride for free, but we tipped him double what he would normally charge.
We made it home with, a mop, two shirt for Rosemary, some vegetables, and some bread from a bakery that mom likes. Rosemary, Wade, and James, finished 2 whole windows.
And that's all, not much. But we had a successful trip into town, still 100%.
I included a video for you guys, hope you like it.
