NEVER, EVER complain about your state DMV.  We had to change the title on the car we purchased a couple of weeks ago and what a headache!  It took 4 1/2 hours just to do the paperwork, then add 2 hours for the round-trip drive to the town of Totoniocapan where it was supposedly faster. The whole process required us to hire an agent, a notary, a CPA, and an attorney, and go to the bank 3 different times to pay different fees, AND utilize a bishop who worked in the DMV to "expedite" our papers.  It really wasn't that fun.

But while we were waiting for the agent to do some of the paperwork for us we walked through the Mercado, which is always just fun. 


We always buy our produce from the mercados.  The fruit and veggies taste as good as they look.
 

This guy below was truly a snake-oil salesman.  He promised these people that the pills he was selling would keep their hair from falling out, cure their liver and heart problems, relieve their aching back, and strengthen weak knees.  Oh, and what a deal...it was 2 for the price of 1 today.  I had a hard time holding Ken back from making a purchase!

  1. That's one thing I miss most about Chile!!! I do LOVE farmers' markets and all the fresh fruits and veggies! I bet you did have to hold dad back from buying snake oil. That's funny. Sounds like a cure-all though! Why not try!
