More People In The Market

After looking back through the pictures of the markets, we decided to share a few more people pictures. In some cases we could just stand still and "let the pictures walk to us". The woman who has long since abandoned her dentist was obviously delighted with a chick she had for sale.

Young people the world over like to do the "pose" thing. This young lady did so when she saw me about to take her picture.

When the baby is hungry; feed it! That holds true when you are riding the market taxi.


Sometimes feeding the baby is a matter of stopping the selling, raising the apron and taking care of business.

Babies go along for the entire day. Mom often carries the baby AND heavy loads of produce at the same time. We were amazed at the fact that you seldom heard a baby cry.


Life in the small farming villages is tough duty in a lot of ways. First, working the fields is all done by hand including carrying out the crop at harvest time. The two pictures above and below show the "village taxis". The truck is just filled with people who come bailing out once the truck reaches the market. The picture above shows the line of "taxies" where the village people load and unload

And finally, just a street view of the activity in the picture below.
