in the monday market

Among the gems in this morning's tinaguis were these gorgeous Poblano chilies

and a colorful layout of calabasas redondos and yellow star fruit, the slightly sweet, slightly tart fruit that is so popular here.

I didn't buy any of these treasures, but thought they were so beautiful you should see them.

By the way, I forgot to comment on Saturday's opera, Rossini's "Armida" with Renée Flemming. Sublime, all-time divine.
