The Sunday Market at Tlalacula

















I had a lot of fun organizing a group to the BIGGEST Sunday market, Tlalacula. Like "Alice's Restaurant" you can get anything you want. We took the "Collectivo" for less than a buck each for the half hour ride, some of us had to stand but the scenery was wonderful. Tubs, shoes, machetes...I wanted to look at the food. The lady with the stone griddle is making my lunch. A tortilla filled with squash flowers, queso (cheese) and pollo (chicken). After a cab ( a lot like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride) to the two local ruins Yasmin and I came back for chips. They were made just for me! The lady with the beautiful braids is Zapotec. They are direct descendants from Monte Alban.
