Shopping day

A long walk to the Mercado.. (Market) .. Saturday is a big day for the locals to sell their wares, and we made the 4 mile walk to market.. and it was well worth it...HUGE.. a varied array of merchandise from pirate DVDs, to car parts to an incredible section of fresh fruit and vegetables. So much of the local food purchases are on a daily basis, as refrigeration is not as plentiful as we enjoy. We also finally found Mexican Wrestling masks... a request from the grandkids.

What is especially nice about exploring the real world of the countries we visit, is experiencing the day to day life of the locals... we saw how they display their food (not for the squeamish) and how they live their lives.. very interesting. One of our crew learned about scraping cactus, why they do it we don’t know, as well as behind the scenes making tortillas.

Anyway, another great day topped off with a meal at the Mexican restaurant located on a small peninsula out in the ocean.. very nice atmosphere... we are being spoiled rotten in the food department. Every meal is like eating at Amys EVERY day, three times a day... and no bill when we leave.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and some folks are going to Mass... not hard to find a church in a mostly Catholic country.

Hasta la vista... till manyana
