Today we went to the market which is really a pretty cool place. It is fun to look at all of the stuff the vendors are offering and even more fun to barter for lower prices. It was about a twenty minute walk away from the school but it was worth it. The first time I went there there was a big group but today it was a smaller group. We also stopped in a gun shop on the way today and JC and Bob went ahead and purchased security gaurd hats...rediculus...kind of wish I would have gotten one though.

Vendors on the Road/Market place
One thing I have not mentioned in any blogs are the people selling things on the side of the road or even to people who are stuck in traffic. One of the main things I have seen on the carts on the side of the road are bananas of course. However there are many other fruits too. I do not see how people make a living by selling single rapped bananas or other small objects to people who are stuck in traffic. The first time one of these people came up to the window I was sitting at it kind of startled me, but now I am used to it.
