El Mercado de Otavalo

(Mom & I in Otavalo, the center of town, not far from the Saturday market)
Every Saturday, in a small but cool town called Otavalo, about 30 minutes from Cusin, where our Hacienda was, there is a wonderful local market that is frequented by tourists and Ecuadorians alike, though I think the latter tend to buy the live chickens where as the former opt for bracelets, art work, bags, etc. Either way, its a cool experience and the ladies enjoyed the shopping... (some of you may even recognize future souveneirs!)
