Artista and the Market

Alrighty so today I woke up and had to walk to the main square to re-take the pictures that were deleated yesterday. It started off as a really nice day, sunny, still a bit cloudy, but otherwise really nice. So I got to the square and walked up onto the steps of one of the cathedrals. After taking my pictures I sat down and a man who had been there all along, just sitting a couple meters away came and sat with me. I can´t remember his name AT ALL, but he told me he was an artist in Cusco. I was thinking he might be before he told me because he had long black hair and one ear periced, which he was wearing an earing with two feathers on it. It was hard to have a decent conversation with my lack, and broken Spanish, but I was glad someone was finally letting me attempt it. (usually when I try and say something the person says hold on a minute and gets someone who speaks English) Eventually I got tired of talking and just wanted to walk around, I wanted to find the market, so I said goodbye and went off to find it.

I got to the market and immediatly fell in love! It´s so packed and there´s everythig in it. I bought some pretty earings and decided to buy some food for lunch. I probably spent no more than 10 nuevos soles (less than 5 canadian dollars) and I bought lime, avocado, tomatoes, red onion, green beans, spring onion...I can´t remember what else. But it was amazing, I went straight back to inkarri and made a salad!!

I´m still trying to upload pictures...but i neither have the time nor patience
