With our Spanish school, we went two hours south of Quito is a little town, Saquisilí and every Thursday there is a market with indigenas buying goods opposed to tourists. The market sold everything from cattle, pigs, fish, textiles, vegetables, sugar, mechanical parts and guinea pigs (which are for eating and were on the menu at our lunch spot). Our teacher called it the natural life, the community gathering weekly to exchange goods in an otherwise quiet remote mountain town. Still enjoying the colorful clothing, animals and babies everywhere, home grown food, crafts and the multi-tasking in the last picture.
