Chiapas - tourist stopover

Chiapas – On the way back the tour van made an obligatory tourist stop in Chiapas so we could walk around the market.  The town itself is nothing spectacular, just rows of merchant stall selling the normal tourist trinkets. I did walk around an old convent and church, Santo Domingo de Guzman.  Pretty neat stone building with a an arched courtyard. 
I purchased an orange juice drink, which they have an interesting way of serving “to go”.  The juice is poured into a plastic bag, straw inserted and rubber band wrapped around to seal it shut.   It’s great buying juice drinks off the street vendors because everything is freshly squeezed.
