The tomatoes and flowers are an unusual and interesting blend.

The pastries look tempting. Please tell me you bought one.

The vendors here are extremely creative! I love photographing their art.

Alas, I did not buy a pastry . . . Just looking at them makes my fat cells whimper! When you look, you don't ingest any calories!



And now I need my nap!

Are those Uchuva in the second picture? Obviously not the blueberries or raspberries, the golden ones... I have NEVER seen those in the US before. I spent a few months in Colombia on a pipeline project, and fell in love with those! They are seriously one of the best fruits I've ever tried. Sweet, a bit sour, and so very flavorful. Although, Colombia has a lot of exotic (and delicious!) fruits that I was previously unfamiliar with.

I appreciate your enthusiastic remarks.

The golden berries are, I think, gooseberries. I've never had one but their color intrigues me.

I guess it's unavoidable that there's repetition in my photos. I'm glad you like the look!

Good for the brain (i need that) Heart and immune system. They go in my oatmeal every morning along with ground flax and chia seeds. Health is like the "1" in one million dollars. Without the "1"
your health is just a bunch of zero's!!!

My favorite is the flowers with the tomatoes. I like the way the colors pop against the dark background.

But oh those pastries …..

I always look for the most spectacular items and this vendor never disappoints!

Sometime I'll buy a pastry and let you all know just how great it was!!
