I set out to find something that was suggested I might find here....
at this very large Hispanic market in town....
and as I wandered....
(note to self....learn some Spanish)
eyes WIDE.....
looking for something.......I could not find....
(which was....Florida Water....Agua de Floras?)
....everyone was so helpful here......thinking I was a tourist with camera in hand!
and....
to my happy surprise
I was led.....
here........
to enjoy fruity drinks......some which are flavored with flowers.....
and this.....
was my favorite!
a Sweet and Creamy rice drink.....
and mixed with Papaya!
YUM!
more Joy.
the rest of the story......found the Florida Water at the Hoo Doo shop down the street!
i think this market would make me very happy!
ReplyDeleteLove the way you spelled 'Albuquerque', as if it really is quirky! :-) What glorious market colour; I was fascinated by the limes!
ReplyDeletewhat IS Florida water?...is it made of flowers [as your Latino version suggests to this one who does not speak Spanish? ]
ReplyDeleteFlorida water is a sort of cologne-ish water.....alcohol based....could be vodka plus various scented botanical oils......used to splash on ones self on a hot day, or used in a majik potion to keep the bad spirits away.......once I heard of it I just had to find it for myself......I have not opened the (heavily sealed for travel) bottle yet, however the maker said it smelled Divine......I will make my own when I need it again.....And ME too! to Velma and Margaret...happy and fascinated!
ReplyDeletequirky maybe , but they know how to fix phones for international interlopers in that town!
