Market Day/Why We Don't Eat Meat Anymore

Today, the first Sunday of the month, was Market Day in Xela. We went and checked out all the goods. They were very cool, but people watching was even more fun. We got a little lost on our way to the grocery store and ended up waaaay across town. On our way we saw the source of the meat we've been eating (at various locations), a pizza delivery guy speeding down the street on a motorcycle, and a Mormon church. One of Hannah's teachers told her that 10 percent of Xela is Mormon and the number is rapidly increasing. Mom wanted to add another picture from the volcano yesterday as well because she thinks our guides were just so cute. Oh, and the bird cage surrounded by spilled food at the end of our hallway has been attracting visitors from outside. Every time we walk down the hall a wild bird flies up and back out the large opening upstairs. Luckily there aren't any really big birds in Xela!
