I discovered a market in Plovdiv today. I have such an affinity for shopping and perusing local markets, I knew I would find at least one here. This used to be only one day a week, however now everyday is the Thursday Market except Sundays. Getting There Not hard to find at all. Google is …
We all know that inflation has been a battle for almost everyone over the last year or so. It has hit particularly hard with the increased prices of food at the store. Each time I change destinations, I do a shop on the day of arrival, to stock the kitchen. Today I am recording 2 …
I like to visit a local mall when I travel and most definitely the grocery stores. The mall provides me with an opportunity to view the local fashions as well as prices. I can also pick up any essentials that I need while I am there. And of course, the grocery stores provide an endless …
I love my markets, I think we can all agree on that! 😊 Walking around old town I found the Green Market in Split. There is saw covered stalls with seasonal fruits & vegetables, honey and nuts. Off to one side was a section of second-hand items and flowers. Surrounding the food stalls, were small …

I love shopping for food. Period. Whether its from a market, corner store, road side stand, or large grocery supermarket. Everywhere I travel, I always, without fail, visit at least one large grocery store. La Comer in Fluvial, the best grocery in town, is one such large store, not to be missed when visiting Puerto …
Yesterday I wrote a post about this outdoor market and what I found for sale that was unrelated to anything edible. Today I must continue writing about the Tianguis Libramiento, the amazing food and produce that I saw and purchased. I went to this market with the intention of purchasing the produce that I needed …
I love food. That is a simple statement but let me explain. I love everything about food. From watching things germinate from seed, to seeing how an animal is butchered. It is all fascinating to me. And the best part of the La Penita Market? Food! While travelling, food becomes infinitely more interesting. For what …

Looking for a free but fun and lively place to get a snack or two in the evening? A stroll down the boardwalk, while the sun is setting is perfect. At night this stretch near the sea has some of the best snacks on the Malecon in Puerto Vallarta. The Malecon is a 1.5 kilometre …
Every weekend, from November to May there is a Saturday Market in the Romantic Zone of PV. I happen to be a market fiend. Once I have decided on a destination, and have secured my lodgings, my first search will be the best bakeries in the area and my second search will be the best …
It’s all about the beautiful hibiscus today. Here in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, hibiscus plants abound. If you are a tropical flower admirer, you will be delighted walking around this lovely little town.

Its a new year today. A common day to take stock, make plans, change old habits and look forward to new possibilities. This is my year. I have no big plans. I don’t know where I’m heading. I have a general idea of countries I’d like to visit, but really I’m flying by the seat …
