Saturday market day

Every Saturday my wonderful wife prepares a list of vegetables, meat, and spices that we need at the house to prepare our meals for the week.

It's a comforting time of easy shopping in the local market that reminds me of shopping in the Mercado de Delicias Chihuahua. The chatter of the people and the vendors shouting out their "better" prices mixes with the zapping sound of the butcher's saw cutting through the bone of someones order. The smell of fruit, and vegetables float through the air playing with the smells of spices and pots of boiling chicken soup.

People from all walks of life mill around through the market with their shopping bags full of groceries hanging off their arms. A young man in a three piece suit, a woman with all her jewelry walking with her elderly mother holding her arm, a maid in her uniform sharing the walk spaces between the vendor's stands.
