Exploring Oaxaca, Mexico-DAY TWO

We were up and out the door early for the festivities
of the day.  First stop was to Chocolate Street

Here they make Hot Chocolate from scratch.
The sack hanging on the wall
contains Chocolate beans

Our first purchase was made from this mother and daughter
These Indigenous Indians dress in their native clothing



It didn't take us long to find the fruit market



I picked out the perfect chicken for Rob



He was anxious for a bite



The Carne was very fresh and covered with flies



We had planned on taking one of these street cars,
but found walking too much fun -- we didn't
want to miss anything



Notice who has the most bags in hand

A stop for lunch.  As we had just witnessed the
meat markets, we ate vegetarian



There were people everywhere and speaking many
different languages

Rob bought another marchete, a smaller one this time



It's for sure nothing here is made in a factory

Isn't this girl beautiful?  She was sitting on the side of
the street making jewelry.    I had purchased a butterfly
cut out of a coconut shell from another vendor



and asked her to make me a necklace out of it.



It is my favorite purchase.
  Not for the necklace, but for the
lovely spirit who made it for me.
Cost $8.00
