The Market

We recently went to Mercado Yaque, the largest outdoor market in town. It was quite a visit, as the market had anything from live chickens to yuca empanadas. Although we had a bit of trouble finding it, our noses finally told us we were near - it had quite a stench from the rotting fruits and vegetables from previous days lining the street. We found a fruit stand on the outskirts of the market, and decided that we'd buy as much as we could for 100 pesos (about $3US). The bags started to get heavier and heavier, and eventually came away with a pineapple, 10 juice oranges, 3 mangoes, 6 bananas and an avocado! Of course, I had to grab a sizzling empanada from a street vendor as we left!

The spoils of our plunder!
