I remember walking through the mercados in Monterrey, Mexico and enjoying all the colors, sights and smells. I loved the delicious aromas of assorted dishes of authentic Mexican foods as well as the stacks of freshly dried chiles and produce of all kinds. As a child, the stall that always caught my eye was the one surrounded by the huge glass jars filled with freshly made aguas frescas. Some of my favorite flavors were watermelon, cantaloupe and pineapple.
