The fruit market at night







The market sells just about everything you can imagine...except livestock...which is sold elsewhere. We have walked through there at night several times before or after dinner. I don't go much anymore, because honestly, I am simply exhausted from being molested by people trying to sell me things I really don't need. I took a photo of a kitty on a sidewalk full of trash...a few locals saw me and started to pick a fight. I explained to them that I was taking a picture of the cat, not the rubbish. My unwanted 'guide' stepped in, promoting himself to the position of bodyguard, and threatened my contenders: 'leave my guest alone, or I will f$#k you up!'. I told him that was not necessary....geez.
