Sunday Flea Market In Cancun-Hammocks, Churros, and Gardenias!

Last November, we traveled to Cancun with Tiff Worley from Abbey del Sol. He loves to take groups of tourists and locals up to some of his favorite spots. And boy, did we find some great places that we have since revisited this past February. Thanks, Tiff!
The Sunday Flea Market in Cancun is not in existence for the tourists--in fact, at one point I looked around and realized we were the only gringos in sight! Sigh, love that :)
This fabuloso market has ANYTHING you are searching for! Sellers can be local, or from miles away--fresh produce, fresh churros, seafood, clothing, plants, electronics, used housewares, new furniture...let your imagination take you away!
Check my pictures for just some of the things we saw...and I didn't even get a picture of the aquas frescas...you order the flavor you want--tamarindo, jamaica, horchata, sandia...and the vendor ladles the colorfu, yummy liquid into a plastic bag, puts in a straw, and twists it closed with a zip tie.  Pure heaven, and the BEST idea ever! Sorry I didnt get a picture, I was too busy slurping away...

 And, even puppies!!!!

Matt found some scrumptious fresh shrimp, and his FAVORITE purchase...

A new hammock!!

And MY favorite purchase, a beautiful gardenia plant for 35 pesos :)

But my search for a rectangular plastic tub continues...stay tuned for the rest of our adventure...
P.S. the flea market is every Sunday on the Ave. Lopez Portillo...arrive EARLY (8 am?) to get parking, and enjoy cooler temps :)
