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.
New Mexico #1: Hotel, Motel, Holiday Inn
New Mexico #2: A Tale of Two Stews‘
New Mexico #3: B Is for Bizarre
New Mexico #4: Reading a Menu
New Mexico #5: Top Tastes

Zora,
You are a genius! As a fan (and sometimes critic) of haul videos myself, I think yours is a great addition to the genre. You got some pretty good stuff… that huge bag of Sumac! Enjoying reading your blog!
Aw, thanks, Mary! So glad you liked it–it was fun to make, channeling my inner teen shopper!
We’re headed there this Saturday so I loved your video. Also the tip of what time is best to show up was very helpful.
Glad to help, Elizabeth–have a great time!
Here’s my slide show of our haul and things that we saw there: http://www.examiner.com/day-trips-in-phoenix/shopping-the-gallup-flea-market-picture
Beautiful pics, Elizabeth! It does look like the first Saturday is a little livelier–good to know.
