Adventures in Albuquirky.....


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!

  2. Love the way you spelled 'Albuquerque', as if it really is quirky! :-) What glorious market colour; I was fascinated by the limes!

  3. what IS Florida water?...is it made of flowers [as your Latino version suggests to this one who does not speak Spanish? ]

  4. Florida 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!
