O c u t l a n Mercado

The market in this city is very large and has vendors inside the building and many around it. We tasted a fruit - don't know it's name, looked at many shoes for sale, bread products, spices, chile's  of multiple sizes and colors,  and a dazzling array of all other products. The only market that comes close to this one in size and variety that I have seen at home is the San Jose flea market. It was hot and crowded as we made our way through.

We stopped at a bread vendor and saw half moon breads. Edgar our tour guide told us this was a special bread that one takes to one's father in law to show respect and suggested that we bring a bread to our next stop, the artist Zeny Fuentes, which we did to smiles and warm greetings.

One of the highlights of the market was meeting Frida Kahlo look alike who greets everyone with warmth and has her photo taken frequently.

Some photos of this experience follow.
