Merida market on Christmas eve

---

This morning we decided to visit the central market of Merida. Being the day before Christmas, we were advised to park many blocks uptown to avoid the chaos. (Thanks, Kerry!) The traffic was intense, even on foot. Everybody was there, doing last minute Christmas shopping, no doubt. I had hoped to find some shelled walnuts for blending into morning oatmeal, but none could be found. I was able to buy a sizable quantity of raw pumpkin seeds, which I also blend into my morning meal (along with raw sunflower seeds, cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, and milk). Here are the photos, which are certainly more interesting than my breakfast recipe:

I don't know how the locals get their vehicles out at quitting time.

those large grapes
are served 12 to each guest on New Years eve, and with each gong of the midnight bell you must eat one accompanied by your wish for the New Year. Debi www.debiinmerida.blogspot.com
