Shmontses & shmutters from San Cristóbal
Friday, 16th Mar 2007.
San Cristóbal is one of the cheaper places to stay in Mexico, and I was long overdue for some shmontse and shmutter shopping in a Mexican market. So this morning, I headed on down to one of the city's bigger mercados, and found some nice stuff for my sisters back home. I got a pair of dolls; a pair of wooden flutes; a small herd of stuffed animals; and two beautiful little Mayan blouses. Cute stuff, don't you think?
Lovely Mayan dolls.
Wooden three-holed recorder flutes.
Herd of stuffed animals.
Baby blouses. None of that Pumpkin Patch stuff around here. All hand-made, all traditional Mayan.
