Market Day



On Wednesday we rode the bus to Guaymas to experience the weekly market. This is not the usual tourist market that Mexican resort destinations have set up to entertain the visitors, this one is for the locals. Prices are lower and the selection is much better than places like Ley's or Walmart.


Like all the other times we have been here, Fred gravitates toward the used tools. He has learned well from his sister Anne - he researches before he buys! No money changed hands on this day.


If you want honey, you can buy direct from the wagon - hive and all!

This market is set up just off the main street in Guaymas and it runs for blocks. All the stalls are temporary so they can be set up and removed easily. By Thursday morning there was no evidence of the vendors.

Mexicans love loud music and the market is no exception. Radios and stereos were everywhere and the noise adds to the excitement of market day - for locals and visitors!
