Mexican pizza with cornmeal crust, top and bottom. Kids here are told they are made of corn. Could be!

A few weeks ago we went on a market tour of the main market in downtown Merida. And this morning our friend Butch took us to a big flea market near the city jail, that a maid at the hotel told him about last year. (Take a bus marked Penal Directo south from c.58 – or 60? – we drove – early Sunday morning; it’s just a bit south of the east end of the airport runway, right across from the prison.)
