Day 17: Suchitoto

I took a day off and headed to Suchitoto with my uncle and his family.  Suchitoto is touristy town because the city has preserved its old colonial feel which many tourists seem to enjoy.  I visited the city because I have a cousin who lives there.  Casa de Las Alemdras is a beautiful hotel and restaurant.  It has an old hacienda feel and I would recommend it if you are passing through this.  I also visited the Centro de Paz (Center for Peace), which is a hostel as well as an art gallery.  The art gallery is located next to a building which served as a church and a convent.  If you walk through the old building you have to be careful or you might get hit by one of the bats flying in and out of the building. Creepy.  When we arrived the gallery was closed but the man who takes care of the property was willing to open up the gallery for us to take a quick look.




I then went to see a play called El Enfermo Imaginerio, which is a French play and about a man who is a hyperchondriac and is trying to marry his daughter off to a doctor.  The play is actually pretty funny and the two main actors are hilarious.  The actor who plays the hypochondriac recently received a scholarship to studying acting in another country.
