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....
