On our way up the mountains there are frequent stops for landslides, construction, etc. Many vendors have takedn advantage of the backed up traffic (and how hungry people get when the trip takes several times as long as it should). It almost seems they get called when traffic is about to stop! The haul out their carts and set up shop, pedaling fruits, nuts, honey, dogs, and sometimes trinkets and religious idols.

I've seen purses, vests, hats and gloves made out of pelts at a lot of market stalls, but the form of choice seems to be the entire pelt. Hunters go up the mountain and bring back these treasures.

Lots of duckies and chicks come to market in baskets and on bikes.

This was when I took Laney ot the dentist in a bigger city. Their markets are a lot fancier, with fixtures like conrete "stalls" and actual cages for their livestock.

I think this is some sort of beet, but all of my girls get a kick out of the "huge white carrots"

Love all the new pics. Have fun with the pressure cooker - saves a TON of time! Do u ever wonder about the vendors who sell stuff to those stuck in traffic - how they always seem to be in the right place at the right time. Ever wonder if they have a hand in CAUSING the traffic to boost their business? Hmmm. :) Thinking of you as u continue to adjust to life in your new country.
