Pinapples & Potions

If you're looking for rattlesnake soap, pirated movies, perfume that promises to make you rich, or potions claiming to cure just about anything, I've got the market for you. Every Wednesday in Melaque, the travelling outdoor market, known as the tianguis, sets up shop. I can never visit the tianguis without buying something.

This time, I couldn't resist grabbing another pair of my favorite sandals - I now have five pairs in different colours. I also picked up a delicious pineapple from the pineapple vendor. Unfortunately, I forgot that buying a pineapple first meant carrying it around all day and then hauling it back to my motel. Next time, I'll remember to buy it last!






I thought this was 'sick in the head' medicine - dolor de cabeza actually means headache

Fresh pineapple and a hug!








All I needed was some gold and I'd have a gift for the baby Jesus 

I passed on the 100% natural viper soap

Cows, skulls, rubber chickens, they've got it all here

Clothes for about 2 bucks a piece

I added these leopard print beauties to my sandal collection
