Pisac´s famed Market

Today, Sunday, April 23rd, Pisac´s famed Market draws hundreds of shoppers. It is one of the largest and liveliest in Peru. Vendors come from many different villages, many of them come from remote villages high in the Andes. They dress in typical clothing from their village.

People selling everythings from fruits and vegetables to crafts to a significant amount of silver jewllery, not to mention Alpaca sweaters, coats, scarves.

The things we take for granted like hot water, toilet paper have to be planned for here. We take for granted our fast computers, while some of the ones we have been on take forever to send pictures or even commentaries.
