Wednesday is Market Day

Fresh produce, a thing of beauty. In our little enclave of Puerto Aventuras, it's available Wednesdays and Saturdays, 8am to 4pm outside, right in the main center near all the shops. Which happens to be right next to our Villas Del Mar, fortunately for us as we carried home many bags. Twice :-)  Ian and his friends are coming back from their adventure tomorrow and we will have 4 more to feed. I'm excited about seeing them again and hearing about their travels and birds!

 Papayas are heavy, so are watermelon and avocados... humm, how much can I carry?

 I love baby bananas.

 Abundance!

Playing with food.

Gotta have a swim after all that shopping :-)

How many ways can you photograph a palapa?

Weekly Produce Market in Puerto Morelos

Once a week, on Wednesdays, there is an outdoor produce market in Puerto Morelos, but you need to get there early. Last week we arrived at 1pm and there wasn't much left. Today at 9am there were plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables to choose from, even though there is only one vendor. I assume most of the produce is local, but I don't know for sure. 

You'll find this weekly market on the sidewalk next to the church in the main plaza.

We filled 4 large bags with papayas, limes, tomatoes, baby bananas, potatoes, cilantro, black beans, tangerines and other goodies and the total came to 180 pesos. $13.88 dollars! Exchange rate is 12.97 pesos = 1 dollar.

 Baked goods by Barbara sold out of her car next to the market. I brought home some apple cake for Luke and Ian, gone in a flash, guess it was good :-)

Cute dog!
