Dirt Market & Llama Temple


We had a wonderful day today! The morning was spent at the Dirt Market, watching fellow travellers barter for antiques and artwork. It is
a really neat market that opens at 4 AM on Saturday's!  I didn't find anything worth bartering for, though. When it was time to leave and get a taxi, we saw the most hillarious traffic jam
ever....we saw drivers backing up in the middle of the intersection, while buses blocked the same intersection diagonally, pedistrians weaving in and out of the enraged drivers & the cyclists hopping curbs to get by! We had to stop and take some video of the situation, as
it was unlike anything we have ever seen! While we were watching this unfold our sweet guide Faye was trying to flag us a taxi...well lets
just say 45minutes later we were in a taxi and heading for the hotel! When we arrived back to the hotel at 1PM both Howard and I knew
there was no way we could hang in our room, or we would sleep the rest of the afternoon away. So a group of us walked over to the Llama Temples, they were really quite beautiful. The grounds and the architecture of the temples were amazing. We finished the day
with another fabulous dinner, and now I am trying to upload pictures to our shutterfly account and make a quick post before I fall into
bed:) Thanks for all the lovely comments and emails! Unfortunately I can only see them via email and won't be able to publish them to our
blog until we return home.
