1-30 Visiting the Mercadome

Mercadome

The only plus dance today was in the evening so we decided to do something different. The Valley has a couple of giant flea markets and we decided to visit the Mercadome, it is supposedly the largest and is only a couple of miles away, on the way we stopped by Walmart and picked up a few things. Mercadome is the Valley's Market Place, there are rows and rows of vendors selling their wares. We walked around for about an hour looking at all the stuff, they had lots of fresh produce and about everything else you could think of. We don't usually go to flea markets but Larry has been wanting a new belt for a long time, he has not been able to find one that he liked for a price he was willing to pay, he thought since we are so close to Mexico he might just find one here. There were a lot of vendors selling cowboy boots and belts, we walked through a couple of them and the second place we walked through he found one that he liked and it was only $30 which is really reasonable. Mercadome was the biggest flea market we have ever been to, not that we have been to that many.

In the evening we went over to Tropic Star in Pharr to dance to Joe Saltel. There were 14 squares and some round dancers. We danced every square dancing tip so I didn't get a chance to take any square dancing pictures. In between the tips Ruth Howell cued the round dancers. The club provided Klondike ice cream and fudge cycles for their ice cream social. Joe called a good dance. We had fun.
