Tuesday is Market Day

Tuesdays and Saturdays are market day in Hidalgo, so we woke (somewhat) early and hoofed the half hour from Potrero Chico into town. We perused the stalls for half an hour or so and found the most enticing-looking street food and tucked in. We ran into a friend from home - Pat Lindenbach, last night at La Posada and again today at the market, and he recommended a great coffee shop with wifi. After our fill of local comida delicacies we repaired to the coffee shop which is where we a now for another few minutes, before more climbing this afternoon.

Above is a view of Buzz Wall where we climbed on Monday - the pitches are at the left base of the triangular-shaped feature, and was about a half hour trek from Homero's through all manner of cacti, sticker trees and other hazards. We spent the whole day climbing at Buzz Wall having a great time on the moderate pitches.

We returned a casa about 4 pm, whipped up a batch of guacamole in the dog bowl, and broke out the tequila while tending to residual cactus material on our persons.
