I got up bright and early and hit the local market. I was given strict instructions to start at the flower end by the guesthouse owners. As he told me this he had a huge grin on his face and I knew not to ask why and to just follow his instructions.
The flower section was beautiful and it gently flowed into the fruits and veggies section. This lady here requested her photo be taken and held the camera for a long time as she looked at her picture.
The dude is selling Betal leaf which is required for Paan It has a very fragrant smell and Sam who used to own Babas near my apt used to chew it. Whenever I went there and he was having a chew I always knew!
He told me I could take his picture - I promise...
As I meandered on through my nose told me the reason why I was to start in the flower section. If I started in the fish section I would never have made it to the flowers. If these pictures could smell...
These ladies are chopping fish with knives that looked to be 100 years old and dull as shit. I can only imagine how many fingers get hacked according to the vigor they chop at the fish with!
Mainly men run the flowers, fruit and veg section whereas it is all women in the fish section...
It was a great morning at the market.

Emma over here the women often have the less appealing jobs. On construction sites it is the women who haul the bricks etc on their heads! Love you, xoxo
OMG... I have been trying NOT to comment on your blog so that your mind doesn't travel to a place that is not right where you are. Looks AMAZING.
Hey Darl, just checking in. Soak it up and have a chai for me.
