First thing this morning we met the Munozs, the Leavitts, and Elder S. to go to the market. They go every Monday morning so we thought we would tag along and see this place. It was huge! Can't decide which pictures are the best to put in here so:
This area was bigger than a football field - according to my husband. The fruits were all around the outside. the veggies on the inside along with an alleyway of places to eat (guess they think you are going to be there for a long time) and the meat market was also inside. The cow stomach and feet
must be cheap! The man there said the only thing they do not eat on a cow is the horns. Horns and feet sound about like sixes to me! Then came the fish:
This is a shell fish called lambi - appetizing, huh?
My personal favorite is the "scared to death chickens"---
All in all it was a great trip to the market to get a feel for how life is for these people.
When we got home the Yturraldes were here and the air conditioner men came. It is so nice not to have water dripping down the wall all day. We had a Spanish class at 4:00 and one at 5:00. Came home for 1/2 an hour and went back to the Casa for Family Home Evening. We were with the St. Helaires. Scott and I had to sing "I Am A Child of God" in English - the good thing is none of the rest of the people really knew English but did recognize really poor singing! They had a couple sing a song in French and then another couple sang one in Spanish and they were very good singers. It is such a joy being with these people!
