Mercado DeArtesana de Masaya

Yesterday morning I took a cab with Erica and Marita to the town of Masaya so we could go to the market.

The cab cost us 100 Cordoba´s...but we gave the driver 120 ($8.00).

It was pretty funny driving there, as half way to the market (while on the highway) the driver pulls over and takes down his taxi sign. He explained that a Granada taxi is not allowed into Masaya. If he keeps his sign on, he might get a big fine. We laughed.

The market was similar to the one in Antigua....set up wise........with a few of the same things, but still different in the way of souvenirs.

You can buy all kinds of cigars here....and cheap. My cousin Fab would be in heaven in this country!

Driving back home, the Masaya cab driver also stopped mid way to take down his taxi sign.

The taxi signs all plug in somehow.

Very portable.
