Market Day

Every Wednesday there is a mercado in the town center. Well, actually it fills the streets surrounding the center.

It's not quite a farmer's market. In this mercado you can find everything from clothes to bootleg CDs to small chirping chicks dyed blue, fuschia and red and all wearing little caps. My first impression when I saw them was OMG!!!!!! How cruel. PETA and other groups would be all over this situation. But this is Mexico, and things are very different.

The mercado is fun to walk through. And it seems EVERYONE heads there by 10 a.m. or so. Abueltias carrying their mesh bags for purchases, abuelos heading there to talk with friends about the latest happenings and children hoping for a special treat.

I'm heading there myself after I finish this entry. It's a unique experience and something you don't see in the states.
