Well! I never really was a vegetable-lover back then. But ever since I got married to Nick (who is much a vegetable-lover), I sort of have become a fan of veggies. :) All these cost about $12 US dollars. So, I spent about 150 Mexican Pesos yesterday at a tiangui that sets up every Wednesday very near to our newly rented house: within a 2-minute walk from our house, that is! Yesterday was the first time that I really went shopping there. I carried with me a recyclable Safeway grocery bag, where I put all the fresh and beautiful-looking produce I bought from the tiangui. I also got 2 pairs of fake pearl earrings for less than a $1 in total: fuschia and pastel green in colors.
This is what a tiangui looks like.
Basically, imagine a street with rows of booths paralleling each other. There are a variety of vendors: from fresh produce to clothing items and accessories, household goods, even meats and seafood (on ice!), and cooked meals are being sold too - made in front of your very own eyes. :) Nick has once gotten me these yummy pastries called gorditas de nata which are filled with chocolate inside. mmmm! Well, that was my little adventure yesterday morning after my light jog/brisk walk.
