La Concha

This morning´s adventure was our first trip to La Concha. I´m sure other people are going to blog about it, but La Concha is a VAST market where you can purchase pretty much anything imaginable, from fruits and veggies, tolietry supplies, ceremonial supplies - you get the idea, the list goes on and on. Just describing it does not do it justice, you´re going to have to see pictures. And that still won´t do it justice.

I have to confess that I did not like La Concha. It was big, and very very busy. It was extrememly hard to stay with someone you knew - & gotta tell you, did not smell too pretty. I think what cinched it for me was the Witch´s Market. This is the section of La Concha where people buy supplies for their Koa ceremonies among other things. After visiting the witch´s market, Í can now say I have seen a llama fetus. AND, we´ve already decided that I stand out here, cause apparently I am the only red head in this country. It is very disconcerting to have people staring at your hair like they want to scalp you. So, nada mas La Concha para mi.

Now we are off to lunch! More to come later, I´m sure!
