February 16, 2016. Nuevo Vallarta, Mexico. The Farmer's Market.

All kinds of interesting objects are for sale at The Farmer's Market.   Close to 100 tents are set up adjacent to the canal behind the new hospital and pharmacy, right across the street from our condominium.  You could buy fresh fish,  fruit, vegetables, bread and lots of dishes for lunches and desserts.   In addition to the fresh produce, vendors are selling the traditional objects one buys in Mexico, which is silver, pottery, clothes and woven objects.   Great variety is on display along with some remarkably beautiful handcrafted objects.   It was great fun wandering along looking at their wares.

We four walked over about 10:30 which was the perfect time as the line for the fish monger was short.  Rita had a long list of items to buy which included fish and shrimp along with fruit and vegetables.  My list was short.  I was to buy bread which I did.  In addition I bought honey and jam.  But I purchased no beautiful objects.   We are not in the buying mode.

I am so pleased the Farmer's Market is such a success.  People were pouring in and out with bags full of objects just purchased.  Last year was their first year here at this site.  This year the number of vendors must have more than doubled.   We four certainly enjoyed our visit.  By the time we got home at almost 12:30 we were hot and ready for the cool breeze on the balcony.  But we will definitely return.
