Here are photos that start with the view across the street from the door of the hotel, then go counter-clockwise around the block.
Most show various local street vendors. You'll also see three photos of the grill where I had the green onions. In the last shot, the black doorway across the street in the far right of the photo is the hotel doorway from which the first shot was taken.
The two shots before the last are a couple of interesting items.
The first is a fruit that resembles a large, thick bean pod. Inside, the beans are surrounded by a sweet pulp covered with a sweet, white powder that tasted like vanilla ice cream. The Spanish name for this fruit is paterna, but the common name is "inga" and, because of the flavour, it is also called the "ice-cream bean."
The second is a picture of the flowers of the izote or yucca (NOT to be confused with yuca). I'm not really familiar with these, but they're beautiful and the locals said they boil the opened flowers, mix them with eggs and bread crumbs, season them and then fry them as fritters. In addition, they boil the pistils and then pickle them in vinegar, olive oil, salt and pepper.
