Pascua!

Happy Easter to all. It’s a beautiful Easter morning in Cholula, Mexico. I got up early and went to town before the crowds arrived. The Mercado (Market) was in full swing. Everything from clothes to chickens, to beef, to flowers, to beautiful vegetable, etc. Really quite an experience. These pictures do not do it justice but will give you the idea.

Thin cut beef. For what? Small portion of the market One of many chicken stalls All kinds of pork and sausage More chickens Veggies More veggies Beautiful Radishes Tomatoes that have taste!

Some notes on the prices (US cents/pound):

Roma tomatoes=18; Cukes=44; Beans=80; Limes=16;

White onions=10; Strawberries=40; Guavas= 15

Still more veggies How's this for a pork rind? There are bigger!

After the market I stopped by the church to remember sick family and neighbors and caught the last part of a Mass. Very moving. Church was packed. Lots of tots in all white for First Communion. 

We kicked back the rest of the day and were deciding what to do for dinner when this fellow rode by delivering to a family that lives here.

Domino's Time

Yes, we did it. We had a Domino’s “Extravaganza” delivered. Wasn’t cheap though: $18.80 for a medium.  But, it was excellent.
