Our Arequipa tour included the city market, very interesting to us because of all the things we had never seen before...
|
The mercado |
|
Peru boasts (yes, boasts) of 3,000 varieties of potatoes; one of
our guides said 4,000, but then he was the one who claimed the
Pieta in Puna was authentic and the one in the Vatican was
only a copy |
|
Popcorn store; some of the corn kernels are thumbnail sized |
|
Spare animal parts |
|
Yuge fish, 3 feet long, half a foot thick |
|
More fishes |
|
Among the 4,000 varieties of potato |
|
Among the 5,000 varieties of Peruvian potatoes |
|
Ex-roosters |
|
Memories of Kauai; vengeance is mine |
|
Among the 6,000 varieties of Peruvian potatoes; under the
hundred pound sack, is a small man, my age; travel often
makes you wonder at the way the cards were dealt |
|
Muy interessante...freeze-dried potatoes, the
old-fashioned way: high in the Andes, freeze
in snow for days, then air-dry for days |
|
Frutas |
|
Including many new to us |
|
Ditto |
|
Potato-bread with cute faces; among the 7,000 varieties |
|
The juice bar, which extends the entire width of the large
building; there must be 50 independent stations |
|
Big corn |
|
Beans? |
|
Grains |
|
Hat aisle |
|
Ornaments for ceremonial occasions, weddings,
birthdays, bar mitzvahs, etc; need a real
stuffed baby alpaca? |
|
Maybe an alpaca fetus? |
|
Not so much cheese |
|
Lots of coca leaves |
|
Does you church need a Mary Magdaline? |
