Mercado Publico

One of the first weekends we were here, the school got the group of new teachers together to go to the Mercado Publico for some lunch and shopping. This landmark and functioning public market is one of the places we can get fresh local produce, meat and other specialty/import items you may or may not find at the local grocery stores, with some pretty decent prices.

We have actually been twice now, both time with large groups, which makes shopping a bit more difficult as we are always worried about others waiting for us. One of these days we will be sure to venture down on our own, especially since it is a good place for us to get supplies to make Suri's food, aka bulk oats/grains instead of the tiny boxes from the grocery store. With the fantastic public transit system it is also super easy as two of the buses that pass right by our house go down and back.

Here are a few pictures from the first few times to the mercado.
