One of the most often seen stamps around the main plaza of Antigua Guatemala is the groups of tourists and ambulant sellers trying to make a living by offering their wares to the visitors.

Look out, tourists ! The vendedoras can see you ! Corra ! Corrrrrraaaaaa!!
Ja-ja, this is a beautifully composed shot, Rudy. I do make fun of the ambulant vendors every now and then; maybe a bit too much. Of course, it’s their way to make a living, and I respect that. Sometimes, though, it does look like a school of sharks circling, waiting to attack. On second thought, who are the sharks…? Hmmmm….
My only “complaint” with the ambulant vendors is, that they are too ambulant. When I find someone that has very nice things to sell, I buy something, but if I’d like to buy something else in an hour, next day, etc., they have disappeared. Guate-magic, no ? 😀
Well, you know I also have to deal with the pushy vendedores since I carry a camera and they think I am a tourist. 🙁
Maybe we need to get you one of those vests, like the photographers have in the park. However, on the back, in large red letters, we will have ” NO TURISTA; SOY FOTOGRAFO ” printed on it. Either that, or you will just have to run faster. Corra, Rudy ! Corra !!!!!!
I think I found a better solution: bought a very tiny camera. 😉
