El Mercado

There was only two of us at this point in school; myself and Katy. Out instructors decided to take us on a little excursion to the local mercado. It was really cool to see a true Mexican mercado or "grocery store".




Inside the mercado was a tortilla factory. We were allowed to walk behind the counter to see how they made the tortillas. It was pretty interesting and I got some good photos.

Prickly Pear Cactus vegetable.



These little wrestling masks were all over the place down there. I think they are pretty silly.

Mik, you have some great pictures! You have an eye for seeing patterns, too. I feel as though I have walked some of the streets with you. And of course, the boy is precious. Those eyes of his are as big as every. Can't wait to see you both.

Love,
Nino
