The Market








On the weekends, markets spring up all over the place.  People set up their booths in parks and along pedestrian-only streets.  There must be some system to it, because the same booths are in the same spot every weekend.  We had fun taking my parents to some of our favorite ones.


Joseph is excited with the new leather wallet that Nana and Papa bought him.




Time for an ice cream break . . .




























Stephen was the only one brave enough to try the chili-lined cup.  He had mango ice cream - actually it was more like sherbert.  Most of the frozen fruit treats are made with water, not milk.

This is a cute street near one of our favorite markets.

After the markets, we visited a talavera factory (where they make pottery like the plates in this picture).  Here we are waiting for Karl to get the car.

In the evening, just the adults headed back downtown.  We enjoyed watching these dancers in their traditional "China Poblano" costumes.


These three dancers were siblings.

The Cathedral always looks beautiful at night.


After watching the dancing, we went out to dinner.



It was a fun evening and the food was delicious.
