Free Time & Seafood

We were able to get some free time today and one of the guys arranged transportation to a shopping area. It was like shopping in downtown La Mesa but the streets were a lot narrower and went on forever and there were tons of alleys just chalked full of stores and street vendors.
They had all the name brands, anything you could ever want. I went to the market just to see what it was like. I really wasn't looking for anything specific except for something with Hello Kitty on it, per Heather's instruction. The 5 of us split up and agreed to meet back at Krispy Kreme at noon. When we arrived the light was on, hot fresh donuts. We passed and started to look around.

We walked and walked and walked some more. Found a Starbucks and grabbed something to drink. It was pretty similar to what we would expect to find Stateside. We ran into some of the band and they asked if we had checked out the fish market. We said "no" and they suggested that we do that if we had time. We had a few minutes left so we checked it out. It was an experience. I made a page of the photos I took there but I couldn't resist putting these 2 up here.

Doesn't this make you hungry. I love seafood but this takes it to a whole new level. We have no idea what the worm looking things are but we hear they are a very popular sushi. Speaking of Sushi, we are near the capital of the Sushi world and the Sushi the guys had was really good. Not nearly as cheap as it was in Ecuador, but it was good. The good news is most of it was alive and nearly fresh, I'm just looking for a range, hot plate or something to cook it on.
