MEXICO - THE COMMON MARKET


I love to explore the common markets in foreign countries. I've yet to come across one in the States that comes even close to those I've explored overseas. These markets are vast and sprawling and sell everything from shoes and clothes to dvds, art supplies, sheets and comforters, fabric, and fresh fruit, vegetables and meat. The pictures above were taken at the market in Monterrey, Mexico. Eric and I came across it one day exploring. We wandered about for several hours and ate lunch in a little diner down in the middle of it. I put my feet up in the chair next to me. I was worn out. We had already walked several miles in 95F heat and my feet needed the relief. I ate my enchiladas sitting by a window and watched a man sell dvds and faucet parts from his little stall on the other side of the window. You never know what you'll see or find. I do love the common markets!
