Carl and I went to La Cancha Sat. just for
the fun of it. Holy Moly, was it packed.
La Cancha is the largest out door market
in South America. Not sure why because
a lot of it is in what I would call rows and
rows of storage units, the center of which
is covered in tarps, and some is in actual
buildings that have been joined together,
and some of it is stalls lining the streets.
It has just grown on it's own and you
need a GPS to find your way around,
but most importantly, find your way out.
You can buy anything there from the latest
computer equipment to a llama fetus.
Here are just a couple of pic.'s as it was
really to crowded to take many.
These are stalls of shoe repair men. There must have
been 20 in a row. Very cheap to repair your shoes here,
wish I had brought a bunch with me that I just threw
away. They do great work.
These are bags of pasta. Any kind you
could want is here.
It is 3:00 p.m. and no refrigeration at all.
Selling all cuts of meat. Look close and you
will see, leg, tongue, and other things
I was not sure what they were. The lady
holding the baby is doing the selling.
At all the markets little boys push these wheelbarrows
and you can hire them to carry you goods back to
your car for you. Kids of all ages work here and
they work hard. They know the value of
work and money.

Maybe the kids can do this over the summer to help pay for their trip. :)
That or they can learn to do cart wheels or juggle and do it in the middle of the traffic at the plaza in front of the apartment. Seriously, kids 6 or 7 are doing that, it is crazy!!!! Them and the dogs in the middle of horrible traffic, scares me to death! GG
