As soon as we got settled and I had a chance to meet each and every one of them, they took me to the food market. We even got to see a few of the stores that some of the women own. We saw a variety of different foods including vegetables, chills, bananas, and other fruits. I tried a little of everything. Some things were delicious, others were sweet, spicy and plain.


There was also clothing, flowers, handicrafts and people playing music. The sound of the fun spanish style music made me want to dance!
