New Mexico #6: Gallup Flea Market Haul

I already posted this on Facebook and Twitter, but here you go again, in case you missed it: my “haul video” from the Gallup flea market. (If you have no idea what I’m talking about, here’s a sensible NPR person explaining it.)

OMG, the shopping was totes guh-reat in New Mexico! I am so happy to make my voice all squealy for you, my loyal readers. It’s the least I can do, right?

But seriously, I do think all the native foodstuffs on offer were fascinating: sumac, cota, blue corn flour, plenty more mutton…oh, and oodles of sno-cones.

Here are a couple more pics from the flea market, so you can get the full vibe:

The flea market, if you happen to be out that way, is on North 9th Street in Gallup every Saturday, starting around 10am or so.
