Today was shopping day two! We had a liesurly start to the day with another wonderful breakfast. Karola and her husband had a wedding to attend, so we headed off to navigate the witches market on our own this time. We started the trip off with a tour of the San Fransico church which is virtually in the middle of the market. The church was beautiful, and included an alter decorated with gold from the Baroque period and cloisters filled with antique furniture and artwork. We even had a chance to sqeeze up the windy, narrow stone staircase to the roof and got some amazing views of the city! After our tour, we were ready to start bartering! We all had successful days at the market, complete with lunch at a fabulous restaurant where many of us had dishes made with quinoa, the traditional grain of Bolivia. We quickly stopped back at the house to drop off our purchases and then sped off with Karola to some local grocery stores to pick up some Bolivian goodies to bring home. By the time we got back to Karola's house we were officially pooped and decided to do a show and tell of all our purchases and top the night off with some pizza.
It's hard to believe that we only have one more day here!
