We made our way down the street and decided to try some Pollo Campero. This is a popular fast food chain that began in Central America and has made its way into the USA. We sat down and placed our order and within 5 minutes we had our meal. It was pretty good chicken and we left with full bellies. The start of the market was across the street and we spent about an hour weaving in and out of cubicles of wares looking for nothing but finding a shirt for Tegan and a flag of Guatemala for her class. We strode past stands of fruits and vegetables some unrecognizable. Inside we found spices and raw meats being sold on tables with no refrigeration. The fish was however on some small blocks of ice. The clothing looked to be knockoff brands of A&F and Hollister and that basically went along with the DVDs of Hollywood blockbusters still in theatres and video games to be had for 5 to 10 dollars.
On the way back to the hotel we stopped and grabbed a ice cream treat for the kids. Once back at the hotel we just continued to relax in the room, did a little packing and a little more work on the blog. The kids continued to run around the courtyard playing hide and seek and other games. The firecrackers noise started again on the streets and we all ran outside to see what was happening. This time a procession took place on the street with a gathering of people dressed up in formal attire and carrying a religious artifact through the streets. Every so often a large bang like a cannon would sound off at the front of the procession.
When evening came we walked down the street to a Thai restaurant where we ate or did not eat some Thai food. We went back to the hotel and walked a movie on TV with the kids.
