[...] The fresh produce available at the Farmers’ Fair and at the market are so irresistible. As you can see in the picture above, many people took advantage of the produce available at the fair instead of going all the way to el mercado. [...]

Rudy, I see in the upper corner pesas o balansas – me and my sister used to fight because those were our favorite toys to play with . . . I can’t believe they still make them; my parents will be visitting Guate next week – my mom has not gone in 19 years . . I should ask her to bring a toy ‘pesa’ back for my daughter so I can show her what kind of ‘toys’ I played with – of course que no pueden hacer falta los trastecitos de barro . .

I kind of thought so,then is it ocote bunches in the blue basket??It brings a lot of memories seeing all the pics. My grandma is from La Antigua and therefore I spent a lot of time around some of the places you’ve capture on film.

Sompopo, Johnny Walker bottles have honey. The black bags are natural charcoal. Dsole, es un gusto saber que estás de regreso. Patsy, it is not a contest; it is a game. Lessie, the little black things are black beans, as Sompopo pointed out. Lucrecia, thanks for commenting and making yourself visible. The black bags have natural charcoal for barbecuing or comal stoves. Becky, you are right, there is honey in the bottles.

I love this photo — my favs are the 2 kinds of mangos — or three? I wonder what the little black things are in the basket — a type of berry?
