To market, to market!

We missed you, San Ignatio market! We haven't been to the market for over a month! Today proved to be the perfect day.. we were able to take the Sebens along too!



Waiting for the ferry to take us from Spanish Lookout to Cayo, where the market is located







Being Saturday, there were a lot of passengers on the ferry as well as a food vendor and this Spanish man singing for donations..



Some of the handcrafted wares at the market


Yum, looks like lettuce is in season.. there are a lot of produce vendors.. most of which carry just about the same selection at just about the same price. Sometimes it can overwhelming to choose who you want to give your business to. This week we decided to purchase only one or two items per vendor so as to give sales to various sellers as opposed to just one or two.




One of the fun finds this trip was a pet store vendor. We saw baby turtles, puppies, mice, guinea pigs, rabbits and these cute parakeets.



This fifteen and a half pounder was for sale. For $50 Belize! Christmas dinner?









This cute calf was tied up and left. It was tied up outside of a butcher. Hmm.. maybe veal cutlets for Christmas dinner instead?



We just love visiting the market for it's delicious produce and truly 'multi-cultural' experience. Sharing with friends has made this day even that much more special.
