From Dec. 28 e-mail: Can't believe we have already been gone a month and we have been here in San Blas for over a week! It seems like we keep finding reasons to stay a few more days: outer villages and coffee plantations to see, waterfall hikes, birdwatching, exploring the town more thoroughly,and just going to the mercado. Walked into town from the marina early in the morning and found everyone setting up for the Saturday flea market. Found a scrumptious fruit cup loaded with fresh papaya, watermelon, orange, and jicama sprinkled with chili and lime. Yum! Booths with clothes, tools, toys, etc. lined the street, along with food to eat. Downtown there is an indoor mercado with fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, beans, and any other items you might want. It is bustling with business from 5AM to 2PM everyday. Eating takes place in the center of the mercado and the food is delicious. We had huevos and enjoyed the experience immensely. Colorful, lively, and a wonderful way to replenish our supplies for our next adventure.
