Every Wednesday is Market Day here in Ajijic. A narrow street downtown is closed off and hundreds of people set up awnings and tables and sell their wares. There were fresh fruits and veggies, chickens, flowers, CD's, clothes, anything you can think of. It is crowded with people shopping, eating, petting puppies, bargaining with the vendors and squeezing tomatoes. I loved it. I going to start doing my meager shopping there, you can get anything you need except maybe fresh milk, and it's considerably cheaper than the stores.
One vendor was cooking tacos on this big, flat wok looking thing; it had onions, peppers, chicken, sausage, cabrito, steak all going at once. In the middle were little corn tortillas. When you ordered, he would grab a hot tortilla and scoop up some onions and peppers and whatever meat you ordered and just hand it to you. They were delicious, hot and greasy.
I bought some bananas and a beautiful shirt covered with embroidered butterflies.
The weather here continues perfect - 70's during the day and 50's at night. No need for AC or heaters - very good sleeping weather.
