Gorgeous day in a beautiful city. Early morning walk around both the grande and chica plazas with lots of other walkers and joggers. After a fantastic hotel breakfast (mine was a sandwich on one o their fantastic baguettes) we went to the market. It would put Pike Street Market to shame with stall after stall of beautifully presented produce. There were local indigenous women as well as more traditional farmers. Then off to the crafts people in Onces Patios as well as numerous other shops. We stopped for a Frappuccino at a local cafe and a snack later of very salty cheese. There is a wonderful little museum where we were escorted by a docent who was telling us all about the exhibits- in Spanish. Got about 10% of what she said. Tonight was Tarascan soup made with beans, tomatoes, chiles, with tortilla strips, cheese and crema on top. I had huchapos which are a kind of a sweet corn tamale.
