Postales #3

More postales!

While on vacation, every morning should begin with a good breakfast. Mexican-style sweet breads and bananas, for example...



And if your clothes happen to match the color of the food, walls, and friends, all the better... even if it gets that Coldplay song stuck in your head for awhile...


Fun with the self-timer...


But before leaving you must complete the daily ritual of putting together the Mexican States Puzzle! It took Z&H a whole ten minutes to complete the puzzle on their first day here, and then they halved it the day after that and halved it again the day after that and yesterday morning? Under two minutes!


But now for a day of shopping. First the Tuesday tianguis (or mercado de martes) two blocks from our apartments, where Chris checked out some new jewelry...


And then on to Tlaquepaque! Full of giant outdoor sculptures...

...and foreign tourists...


...and, uh, people comparing shoe sizes...


...and chairs where your feet don't touch the ground...


...and fun times with friends. (Even if the pterodactyls threaten your peace and security...long story.)


Finally a dinner of tamales on the way home...


...to finish up the day and move one step closer to the end of the week.
