Today we went into Otavalo on a bead buying trip. We had found one store on a previous trip but, today we found I think 3 and a couple accessory stores too. What prompted all this Bead buying frenzy? Well perhaps there will be more on why tomorrow
I was able to look around some rather than carry packages. You can see there are some interesting “Architecture” in some of the buildings. To bad those poles are in front of this one.
Ok, finally exhaustion,(on my part for carrying all the @#$% beads), set in and we took a lunch break at a place above the market. It was a way cool view.
Yes I was wondering if this little trip was going to end. The costs were escalating too. It cost us 25 cents EACH to get there after all. At lunch we looked out over the market. This is the little version during the week.
Ok, as we decided we were done and it was time to head back to Cotacachi. I took this last picture of a couple of ladies in their native dress. Most of the vendors dress like this.
