Feliz Ano Nuevo! ~ Thursday





New Years Day closed most of San Miguel down.  However we did still have school (which I'm grateful for since we paid for a week!).  There were still a few restaurants and stores open, but definitely not the crowds like the other days.  

My teacher Eduardo took us to el mercado artisiennes (sp?)  today.  So here's the wierd thing about San Miguel which makes it distinctly different than other parts of Mexico that I've visited.
They don't bargain. 
 
Nor are the vendors aggressive.  They are the opposite of aggressive.  They hardly will even ask you to buy something from them.  
Once they name their price, that's it.  They will let you walk away if you don't want it.  It was so weird.
