Catching up

Friday, we spent most of the day in town. A festival was going on, and we spent an hour waiting for a big race to begin. Miah would probably be familiar with it - I was told it was Mexico's equivalent to the Tour de France. A very big thing--TV cameras everywhere.

We stopped at a little place famous for its hot chocolate and churros. Delish!

Then we went shopping. This is the Mercado - a huge shopping area alive with all kinds of Mexican foods and souvenirs. Here's a couple of ladies with cactus laid out. They're sitting there scraping the needles. Women sold cooked chickens and foods I'd never seen before. Would've loved to taste some of them, but we didn't dare.
