Feb. 16: We headed over to the massive and impenetrable Abastos Market in the morning before it got too hot and busy. Tacos for breakfast, then Jackie bought the two things she came off--a sleep-inducing herb, or so it is said, for her husband who has been having trouble sleeping. And a mini pestle to take home to grind her avocadoes into guacamole in Durham CT.
Cristina was impressed by the way the honey guy could pour an exact pint of honey into a jar without spilling a drop anywhere. (And also his "Patriots" shirt.) That is a skill that is apparently lacking in her husband. She bought a pint; it had a dead bee in it. Must be good luck or something.
