We were overwhelming by the size of the place, and ended up giving Ella the camera so she would catch some photos (like the one above). Again, this photo doesn’t do it justice. This is just one of the little streets that makes up a massive massive amount of blocks with soooo many vendors.
I love some of the photos Ella took….
One of my favorites in the batch is actually one I took of the girls standing in front of the GIANT basket of chilis!
The girls are show-stoppers. Everyone stops to take a look at such fair children (and fair parents)!
One our trip to the coast last month, we were getting out of the car to go into a restaurant, and Maiya said, out of nowhere, “I think they will say I’m beautiful!”
She is so used to people stopping to talk to her and “oooh” and “ahhh,” and call her a little doll (in Spanish) that she is actually coming to expect it! It made me giggle…!!!

Someday I'll come with my kids and we'll just spend a month with you. Now that would be fun – learning to live the Mexican life and enjoy all those markets!
I'm truly impressed with Ella's picture taking skills. She really has an eye for composition.
By the way, Frank and I just love your blog. Your descriptions about the kids are hilarious. Always good for a laugh.
