I wish I could take you all on a field trip to Saquisili. It's a town high in the mountains in the shadow an active volcano. On Thursdays, Saquisili has a huge market selling EVERYTHING you could imagine:
|
Lambs and sheep... |
|
Old car tires turned into bowls... |
|
Live chickens... |
|
Llamas... |
|
Pig parts... |
|
Plus you can get your ripped clothes mended while you wait by one of the sewing machine men! |
|
All the ladies wear these hats, sometimes with peacock feathers tucked into the band. |
|
These women are checking on the plumpness of the guinea pigs.
It's a favorite food here.
I don't think I'm adventurous enough to try it. |
|
Even the little girls wear the hats. |
Ok, do you can bring me one if those tire bowls as a souvenir;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I can't believe you won't try Guinea Pig! Doesn't sound like you...my most adventurous friend....
