took a cab to La Concha, the largest bazaar I have ever been to in my life. It was so full of local color.
We spent well over an hour walking through a tiny fraction of it. The main section has an enclosed roof, and inside are hundreds & hundreds of little stalls that sell everything imaginable. See pics. You can select material for a suit and the tailor is there sitting behind a sewing machine making it.
Then we walked to another part of town passing on our way a local band of young woman & men dancing a tradition dance practicing for Carnival. It was so delightful to just come upon this colorful scene.
We ended the day by going to a Chinese restaurant and talking over our meal for about 2 hrs. We are getting into the leisurely mode of Latin America, savoring life.
Looks like small business is very present there. Refreshing. Pictures are great. Thanks for taking time to share life in Bolivia!
ReplyDeleteTerrific pictues and notes of your day! I feel like I was there with you! What are the giant fruits that look like watermelon-sized grapefruit?
