San Francisco del Alto

In the mountains of Guatemala there is a town called San Francisco, although not to confuse it with its better known namesake it has an addition del Alto. There on a market one can buy oneself a pig.

One can also buy there an elaborately woven huipil. A huipil of Guatemalan ladies is shorter than in Mexico. The Maya ladies wear it with a corte, wich is worn like a skirt.
