Campeche, part II
** CLICK HERE ** to view the slideshow!
The day after they got married we all hung out at the hotel, had late breakfast/early lunch (or maybe it was a late lunch, I can’t remember), Tom wanted to get some video at the market across from the historic part of Campeche where we were staying. So we headed over to the market and BOY was that an experience! I got a bunch of shots of dead chicken’s feet and meat market guys covered in blood but I’ll spare you those 
Imagine an “open air” market, the size of a football field perhaps, but everything is so close together that a lot of the aisles were too skinny for two people to walk past each other and most of the shops had enough footroom for two chairs — and half of that space was occupied by the owner sitting in a chair. I used “open air” in quotes because if you looked up, you couldn’t see anything because the shops were so close together that the tops were touching. Being a tall guy I pretty much walked around crouched over so I didn’t wack my head.
I spent some time walking around soaking in the colors in historic Campeche, I have tons of images of doors and walls…
By mid-day we all decided to head back over to Hacienda Uayamon where the ceremony was the day before and where Susan and Sean were going to be staying for a few days. When we got there, just like at Hacienda Puerta Campeche, there was a hacienda employee there to greet us with fresh juice and cool moist towels
We spent a little time wandering around the area getting images like this one.
Here’s an alternate version of one of the images in the slideshow. I can see a huge print of this hanging on a wall…
Talk to you soon!
