I don't know where I would go next. Most likely it would have to be out of this area completely. My blog still isn't showing up in Mexico and I still can't answer any comments. But here are the few photos that I took yesterday at the market.
You can see the crowds for yourself and these photos were taken at the top where it isn't as bad as the lower part that I could not even get to yesterday.
This little boy was taking care of his baby sister next to the grocery store. He looks so proud of her.
The watch man is installing a new battery in my orange plastic watch.
This is the top of the market. I don't know how the man selling baskets is going to make it down through the crowds. Maybe he isn't going to try. There are lots of sellers who just stay at the top, near the street.
This is still the top of the market. You can see why I couldn't walk down it.
I like the design of the purse. I would never carry one like that but I still like it.
Another crowd photo
One of the flower stalls. I was trying to get a photo of that cute little girl in her mother's arms. The one with the top notch hair do. But she didn't turn my way.
Hi, I am seeing your blog on Saturday morning here in Ajijic. Caught up on all your past entries. Hope this means the problem is solved.
ReplyDeleteHi Pat, wow, what a surprise. Thanks. P
ReplyDeleteWe cross the Tex/Mex Border to Nuevo Progresso. The streets there look like your market day, everyday. The men selling big items just push their way through. It does not matter if many old people get smashed. God forbid, if you want to buy something from him. He stops and sets it all down, blocking the sidewalk completely. Then the haggling begins, ending in a price that more than likely requires CHANGE! Here we go again. If you want or need to pass, go into the street. Our town has sidewalks with semi permanent stands, all down one side, of the already small sidewalk. The salesperson stands in the middle of the small sidewalk, THEN the Handicapped poor ladies sit on the right, with their arms out and ask for money. Their 2-3 little kids just wander under your feet. EVERY PERSON, ask if you want to buy, something they are selling. This happens going and coming. Oh PLEASE, just shoot me if you have to go back for something you missed. He will get you 4 times. Sometime people just get shoved into one of the hundreds of Dentist Offices. That is how you get in line and if you are you are loosing your memory, you just stay and get a filling or implant. The day is a real experience.
ReplyDeletewow, and I thought market day here was crowded.. It was a walk in the park compared to your experience. Thanks for sharing. P
