Fue al crea y ferria..... i went to the market slash some other outside shops....

so these pics here are of la crea which is basically a market with tons and tons of fresh fruits, vegetables meat, fish, spices and any other consumable thing you can think of..... it was pretty to be able to take pictures of this because it is hard to explain in words the hustle and bustle of this place... there are tons of people and all you hear is people yelling either to get you to buy there stuff or say they have the best deal in the market... pretty interesting stuff.....enjoy checkin out the pics!!!!!! 



POTATOES!!!








some part of a fish... not really sure but my host dad pointed at it and said something so i decided to take a picture haha







so these are some random sausages that were hanging in part of the market....








stop sign!!!!









this is called a ferria.... or basically a flea market type thing... there are tons of people that are trying to sell both new and used things but mostly they are selling used clothes.......






this is where they were selling fish.... this is the reason we came to the market because my host father wanted some fish!! there is more than one venders and its pretty crazy cuz they all want u to buy from them...






some good looking crab just chilling waiting to be bought.....haha








more fish and mussels at another vender








one of the halls that was filled with spanish speaking people and food!!! if you look closely to the top of the picture you can see the decorations for the fiesta patria.... or in english.. the country party....the 18th of september... which is like our fourth of july....






the lady cleaning the fish that my host father bought









just more fresh produce....







tons and tons of fresh veggies.....









tomatoes and bananas and a bunch of other food!!








not really sure what this is but thought it would be cool to take a pic of it....haha







sooo these are some chickens that were just chilling in the market.... i am pretty sure they were dead... but when i walked by them i swear i saw one of them blink their eyes... but idk... it was kinda weird....
