San Juan Chamula

 In the town of San Juan Chamula in the state of Chiapas in Mexico the marked day is Sunday. On that day a market is being put up in front of the church. Next to the market men in characteristic attire, in ponchos made of fluffy fabric, sit on big benches. They are (I was told) magistrates, who are there to judge between people.

It seems that on this market there is also somebody to keep law and order, men in white fluffy ponchos with yellow belts. I certainly have seen them chasing somebody.
