hola muchachos. Today we had a field trip to the small run down town of Saquisili which has a huge market. Market; that sounds fun i thought to my self. It was fun, different, but fun.
THere were four markets in town this day. The large animal market with cows, pigs, lammas, sheep, lambs, goats all for sale. If the pigs were small enough they were kept in grain sacks waiting for someone to buy them and take them away. To herd the larger pigs around the farmers usually just kicked them in the face. The next market was the small animal market plus furniture and some fruits. you could get a guinne pig, chicken, rabbit, small new puppy (for $0.25 or a older puppy for $2.00), cats, dead fish, and in one cage was a cat and a pigeon just hanging out.
THe next market... well i never got to the next market because while walking on the side walk and gazing at all the sites i fell in a giant hole. It was similar to when Ian was walking accross the bridge to camp from teh parking lot and caught himself with his arms. I think he even scraped his leg. It turned out that i gashed my shin on something and started bleeding all over my shoe. So now i have 2 internal stitches, 5 external stitches, a sore ass from the antibiotic shot and a slight limp. Welcome to Ecuador my instructors said. they have a great sense of humor down here.
