Village Market Place


Only on Sunday, these village people come down from the mountains to attend church and shop at the market.
There are clothes, shoes, toys, and food. Here you see the merchants selling cactus that can be used in food such as bread or juices. Cactus has been served at several of our meals! Cactus can also be used for paper, sewing, a water source, as cement for building and as a medicine.
Tomorrow I might even try some cactus juice with breakfast before we go to the colonies to see the butterflies!
Adios!

Hello from Tom & Julia in Galesburg. Hope you are having a great time and tried that Cactus Juice. Sounds like something Granny of the Clampets would have in the fridge. We will be waiting to hear what you have seen next! ! !
Take care.
