Today was a trip to the Market. A HUGE Market. It reminded me of Pike's Place—just India Style. Vendors and tables were set up everywhere with lights hanging from rafters and people trying to sell you their goods. There was the flower market, the fruit market, and the vegetable market. Oh my goodness the place went on forever and ever and ever. We spent a good number of hours there and still saw maybe half of the entire thing. Alan visited it a couple of months ago and took pictures of some of the vendors. If they see a camera they insist you take a picture of them in their little shops...it is so funny. Alan promised them he would print them off and bring them back to them in the months to come, which is why he wanted to go today. Trying to find these people was a journey—let me tell you, but when we found one—or a person who recognized the person within the photo—they would woop and laugh and yell and crowds of guys would gather around us and press inward to look at the pictures. Miles and I stood back in amazement. Then the guys would start asking us to take their picture and give us their cards to help us remember their shop...too funny. In the flower shop all the guys were yelling at me to stand with them in the picture. They were so excited to have a "madam" in the picture with them and they showered me with flowers to hold up in the pictures with them from their shops. It was so sweet.
