What You Can FInd at Tuesday Market

Most middle aged and older women wear these aprons every day, so far as I can tell. They are $1.50 each.

Lots and lots of men wear cowboy boots and hats. The boots are really soft leather and not that expensive. Both seem really practical in the dust and sun.

There are tons of strawberries and they go for under $.35 a pound. YES, that's right THIRTY FIVE CENTS! But they're not safe for gringos to eat because they absorb so many toxins and bacteria. The sweet strawberry smell just about knocks you over when you're close to them.
BTW, T bought two mangos for TWENTY EIGHT CENTS. not each. fourteen cents each.



Chicken necks and heads

Clothes, clothes, clothes....mostly used. There are piles of them and they are mostly under five dollars, many are a few cents. It's more like Filene's Basement than Filene's Basement.

There's loads of other interesting things, like livestock, plastic ware in really bright colors, cds and dvds, tools, food booths with live music, juice booths, cosmetics, plastic toys and a VERY few old antiquey items.

I got a few old milagros and tin stars.
