A Peek Inside Indigenous Farmers' Home

On the road to Quilatoa Crater, I visited the home of some indigenous farmers.  My mind was blown by how differently people live.

This is the couple in front of their home.  
I felt a little afraid inside the house because it was dark and there were guinea pigs scampering all over the floor.
Bedroom, kitchen, closet, and animal cage all in one space.
Potatoes are the staple food.  This man grows five different varieties in his field.
This is what a potato plant looks like.  You can see two potatoes peeking out of the dark, rich, volcanic soil.
Have you ever seen such a knobby potato?

I wonder if these people would be equally astonished by a visit to one of our homes in Los Angeles?
