Went to Otavalo today - the major market town area of Ecuador... It was so fun! We started out at the market, which had jewelry, scarves, bags, paintings, doodads, thingamabobs and things of that sort. I got a few gifts for people. Got some jewelry for myself - a fun necklace, a necklace that matches my cow earrings, and a bracelet that matches my earrings for Jr Sr. It was cool seeing Aunt Cathy, Uncle Earl and Eli bargaining. And I actually understand some of it!!! Then we headed to leather town. Got a really awesome leather jacket and a really cute (not leather) purse. :) Then we went to wood town. There was some pretty cool carvings and such. Uncle Earl talked to one of the store owners who was working on a carving while we were in there. He was making some carvings out of cedar and orange tree wood. He said the carvings he was working on took about four days to complete.
So shopping was so fun! As shopping always is when you find what you're looking for... :D
