Market snap time! I passed this market in Tizimí

Market snap time!

I passed this market in Tizimín, a middle-sized town in Yucatan, and I could not resist entering to take a few snaps. What a nice place to explore the Yucatecan food!

some descriptions:

1 - Corn, chilies, avocado - there are so many "big ones" native to Mexico and Central America that we often forget that "the biggest of them all" was born here too - the tomato.

2 & 5 - Recados rojo, blanco and negro (red, white and black) are popular Yucatecan spice blends, sold in slabs or in balls (like on my photo). The red color of recado rojo comes from achiote (annato) seeds. It is used to make the iconic cochinita pibil for example.

4 - Habanero (the wrinkled one) is the most popular chili in the cuisine of Yucatan, but another one is special for being very local - xkatik (the yellow-green one; pronounced "sh-katik").

6 - And here's relleno negro, a blend of spices based on charred chilies, used mostly with turkey.

I wrote about "turkey in relleno negro" and "cochinita pibil" a few posts ago.

7 - The most famous sausages of Yucatan are made in Valladolid, a bigger town 50 km to the south, but those look pretty decent too! In a fact I saw sausage makers in other localities along the Tizimin-Temozón-Valladolid road. While asked "¿is this longaniza de Valladolid?", they always replied with pride "no, it's longaniza de Temozón".

This microbrewery is truly 'micro' - only two people run it.
CERVECERÍA PESCADORES is located 5 km from Puerto Morelos on the Caribbean coast of Mexico.

I walked there from the town, which took one hour (in full sun - not recommended) and I hitchhiked back.

The tour is on the pricey side, but I enjoyed it. I was alone and it felt like a visit to a friend (except you pay for it). The beer is tasty (and not so expensive, especially the tasting set is a good deal - you see it on the photos).

But I will forever remember that day for a very different reason - I dropped my favorite lens there! It fell on the floor and broke into pieces. I later reassembled it, but the screws were still loose and soon after repairing it I realized that it's probably time to say goodbye. I took some of my best photos with that lens, let it rest in peace! 📸

Una ciliegia tira l'altra - "one cherry pulls anot

Una ciliegia tira l'altra - "one cherry pulls another," goes the Italian idiom.
Cherry stalks are often joined, so when you pick one from the tree it pulls another. 🍒
More figuratively, it refers to the fact that they are so delicious that you can't stop eating them.

Read my previous post to learn more about cherry harvest in Italy and the FERROVIA variety.

All photos in the set taken in Conversano:
1. the crumbly pastatelle are Conversano's typical pastry, stuffed with either grape or cherry jam.
4-6. Cherry fair during the Cherry Festival.
9. your cherry-picking photographer. /Sorry for no smile on this sweltering day ;)/

'Where do you live?' 'Here.' I answered without he

'Where do you live?' 'Here.' I answered without hesitation. I don't even remember where I heard the question. It could have been anywhere. My backpack is my turtle shell🐢. My tent is my shelter⛺. My doors and my heart are opened and so are the doors and the hearts of the people I encounter wherever I go💚. I find neither shame nor pride in my lifestyle. I just live it. We share the same sun🌎.

Friends. Forgive me my long absence. I've been busy, the world's been sad, my phone is broken (a device kinda important for instagrammin'). But adventure continues and I've amassed so much to share!

I've been in Italy for 6 months. I often move slowly, town by town. Sometimes it's a sojourn of weeks or months. More than 60 different locations, all interesting, all worth sharing. I do what I always do and what is written in my description: food + culture + exploration. I've eaten hundreds, no! thousands of local dishes and snacks. I've met a legion of smiling, beautiful souls. I've seen beauty and learned a lot. It's all on my photographs, meant to be shared. 🍀

Let me know how much you missed me in the comments below. 😂

Part 1/2. Candles and white robes - the Sant'Agata

Part 1/2.
Candles and white robes - the Sant'Agata festival in Catania. Photos taken a few days ago, on February 5.

Normally frequented by thousands, it is one of the biggest religious celebrations of the world. This year, due to the coronavirus pandemic, the event has been limited. Its most important part - the procession of Saint Agatha's relics - was canceled. But the Catanese still celebrated by lighting candles and praying on the streets. Many wore the traditional white robes and black caps, inspired by medieval nightgowns.

All in the memory of the patroness of the city, Agatha, martyred in the year 251.

Wait for the next post, tomorrow, for more photos.

Trappist beers are considered to be the best in th

Trappist beers are considered to be the best in the world. There exist only 11 authentic Trappist breweries, most of them in Belgium, and one of them is Orval.

The Abbey of Orval had to be rebuilt more than once since the Cistercian monks first settled here in 1070. On a visit to the monastery, you will see the extensive, magnificent ruins. Among them, in different buildings, await museum spaces: interactive screens dedicated to abbey's history, dim-lit underground corridors showcasing sacred art, as well as several rooms devoted to the art of brewing!

According to a legend, a young lady unwittingly dropped her golden ring into a spring, but after she prayed, a trout appeared miraculously on the surface with the piece of jewelry in its mouth. Today, a trout with a ring is the emblem of the Abbey. The spring from the legend can be seen in the complex - and on one of my photos.

The present day monastery, built in art deco in 1926, where the monks live, is off limits to tourists, but you can see them behind the walls.

The brewery itself is also not part of the tour. Visits are organized once a year and the next is scheduled for Sep 15 2023. Yet, while passing the outer walls from the southeast, a characteristic scent can be felt in the air. That's it, something's brewing!

🇧🇪🍺

The photo taken in Cozumel Island. It's been 12 years since I last visited Mexico and I must say I missed it, especially the food! 🌮
And it is my first time in Yucatan, how exciting!

Something from my archives today: rice fields some

Something from my archives today: rice fields somewhere between the Sanmenli village 三门里村 and Chìkǎn town 赤坎镇 in Kaiping, China, as seen from a bicycle seat. A good memory from several years ago. It was April. 🌾
