A sunday morning on Av.Tristan Navaja


We woke to a beautiful morning early in Carrasco, then the fog came in, but it seemed to hold promise of a lovely day so with a couple of things on the list to look out for, we headed off downtown to Av. Tristan Navaja, where every sunday rain hail or shine, a ferria, market, takes place. Now in addition to all the produce you can think of, and household goods, you can buy anything from a tap washer to a any kind of battery, pirated and genuine cds and videos, lots of interesing industrial waste/cast off stuff, some antiques, some vintage stuff and plenty of junk. Lots of clothing, shoes and accessories, new, used, and some very old, vintage stuff. Quite a few quite nice fur coats were on offer today…. Down the years we have bought a number of beautiful glasses in ‘sets’ of anything from 1 to5, and I think I have mentioned the several stalls I keep my eye on that stock old needleworked household linens. But there’s one thing I just have not come to yet, and that is selecting and purchasing my bras and knickers from one of the many street vendors…. only some of whom are women.

    I am with you on that one Alison….LOL. Somehow an open air market just does not seem conducive to good undie shopping.
