Among other things on my return visit home to H-town, I went grocery shopping with my parents at Fiesta. I love Fiesta. It's definitely an experience that is unique to living in Houston (and Dallas I think?), and I definitely miss having it in Atlanta. At the location near the medical center, which I would frequently visit as a med student, they sell soft serve outside to the left of the entrace and to the right of the entrance you can buy luggage of all colors and sizes from this makeshift luggage market (that kind of reminds of me of India ). As you enter the main entrance, you're greeted by the "fine" jewelery/ watch/repair/ cell phone service area. I think I remember someone in our med school class trying to get their watch repaired there once. Not sure if they were successful.
The right side of the grocery store is where the money is at! They have a fresh selection of fruit and vegetables that will make you salivate.
During this particular trip to Fiesta at a different location, I noticed something that made me giggle. There's specifically a "mexican foods" isle at the local Fiesta foodmarket. I wonder what they think the rest of the isles should be categorized as?
Anyhoo, we walked away with a cart full of fresh oranges, papayas, pineapple, strawberries, grapes, asparagus, tomatoes... and more! LOVE IT! And I love being home.

Funny, Fiesta always reminded me of grocery stores in Mexico. Sorry I haven't gotten back to you, perhaps lunch tomorrow?
Ahh, Fiesta. What would I do without the big colorful parrot? Almost every key on my keyring originated from that makeshift luggage stand. I also own 2 pairs of shoes which were purchased for $3 each from the Fiesta Shoe Bin (i'm not joking). I hope you had a nice, nostaligic visit and I'm sorry I missed you!! :(
the papayas and pineapples were YUMMY!
devi doesn't follow the 'don't end a sentence with a preposition rule'.

Ok Mr/Ms. Anonymous, if you identify ALL of the grammatical errors in this particular blog entry (and there are several), then maybe I will begin to consider hiring you as my blog editor. And identify yourself, you coward!
What if it's Dr. Anonymous? (and no, it's not me).
What if it were the artist formally known as Prince? Who is does not want to be a Mr., Ms. or Mrs.
If that is so, then "Anonymous" would be incredibly unoriginal. Cliches and pop culture references cause creative death... if you're into that kind of thing.
