Market Day

Today is the weekly "mercado" or tianguis 

I purchase (in pesos): two large-yogurt-sized containers-one of raspberries, and one of blueberries (140); two clay oven-baked bolillos (10); a plastic spatula to replace my rusted one (20); a tiny colorful bowl to hold a teabag (50); bulk cayenne pepper (40); a light-roast coffee (70); a key chain with a ceramic square and the design of a rooster (35); and a glass bowl (15). From the town: sugar-free, plain yogurt (40), and 4 huevos (20). These all come to about 400 pesos – $27 Canadian).  

For supper to celebrate Dijie, Bob and I go out for a full meal of ribs, salads and mashed potatoes in a place called Scooby. Delish. The meals about 120 each - about $8. This is one of the more 'expensive' meals in Melaque. 

There! That is an idea of prices here.
