In most cases antiques and collectibles dealers with stalls at the outdoor marketplaces do not arrive and set up at the crack of dawn, like they do at markets like Christie or Brimfield. If you arrive at 8 a.m. (before virtually all other pickers and collectors) you'll be there while the vendors are setting up, and if you arrive at 10 a.m. there will still be stalls being arranged. Having provided this advice, guess who nevertheless awakens at 7 a.m., and gets to the antiques markets as soon as possible thereafter, invariably first succumbing to relaxing at a sidewalk stand for an early breakfast of hot chocolate and tamales, yes, before heading off to the market, thereafter of course, scrounging for Mexican antiques and collectibles throughout the better part of a day?
