Four days after I arrived in Guanajuato, I was finally over my cold. I was feeling well enough that I figured I wouldn’t be getting everyone around me sick I headed out to the market again. Knowing how not to get lost, I was able to walk straight to the Mega supermarket this time.
I bought enough food to keep me going for a few days. On my way home I stopped for strawberries at a street vendor and vegetables at a small store close to my place. All my shopping came in at $19. This included Ziplock bags, a pot of tamarind candy, a local brand of candy bar, iberico ham, a lime, pork chops, honey, mole, bread, a mouse shaped brownie, a package of chicken parts, strawberries, carrots, potatoes, and an onion..

In my earlier post I top a photo looking up my street. Here I stood at the end of the alley and faced down the street. It is very steep. I saw a poor kid face plant the other day walking down. 
The doors here are not quite as interesting or as varied as in Cuenca. 
Walking down the main road in my neighborhood. 
My street does not have trash pickup. We have to take our trash down to the dumpsters on this street. So a bag of trash out and two bags of groceries back. 
I took a few photos on my way to the market, but wasn’t up to exploring the town. When I got back, I was too tired to photograph my purchases. I guess I am also getting over how cheep food is outside the US. I am glad to be able to buy chicken. The same amount of chicken, which would have cost me $10 in Cuenca, cost $1.49 USD here. Steak cost much more, and I really don’t like the cuts.
Now that I am feeling better, expect to see more food porn!
Excellent photos–thanks for sharing!
Thanks!
