Marketplace Mayhem

Monday, September 6th, 2010


So you get to this slight canyon full of stalls, pay someone to watch your car, and venture in. The first person comes up to you and extends their hand and says “I’m—–, who are you?” From that point on, every vendor know your name and calls for you to buy their wares.

The produce was so colorful. Brenda (our host, and guide) said the strawberries are always shiny because they lick them right before they thrust them in your face at a good price!  She does wash every produce item from ANY market with bleach water, tho’ I haven’t let myself eat any berries.
