The Market





Today, we went to the 5-day market. The market come through town on the 4,9,14,19,24,29 of every month. At this market, you can buy pretty much anything. We bought pillows for our apartment and our friends bought curtains. We also got a cool looking cactus. I
There are different sections all over the market. There are the fruit, vegetable, clothes, shoes, fish, pet, furniture and snack bar sections. These are pics mostly of the food section. There are old women selling all types of vegies like carrots, broc, onions, lettuce, etc. The fish section is very smelly and you can get all kind of fish and seafood. It was really busy today. It was a lot of fun. Some day, we will buy some fish and try it at home.

Can someone tell me what to do with dried beans. We can only get beans at the market and want to make a chili but don't know what to do with them when they are dried. Please send us an email.

Their is also a daily market in the center of town. We can also go there to get food if need be. It's cheaper to get food at the 5-day market. We love to go to this market and see everything.

Talk to you soon,

Christian and Karina
