Fridays are the main market days in Ocotlán, a village about 30 miles south of Oaxaca. Color is everywhere. In purple and orange sweet potatoes. In plastic sold by the meter. In candy sold out of a wheelbarrow--by the way, the red ones down front are mango gumdrops covered with chile and are addictively delicious.

Love these colors! I'll take a meter of mango gumdrops.
ReplyDeleteI think chile-covered mango candy is coming home as souvenirs.
