Last Saturday, I went to an artisan market in Otavalo. I had to wake up at 5:30am to catch the first bus out at 7:15. It felt like we were going to miss the bus because everyone in the group arrived at different times and we had to find each other in the bus station. But in true Ecuadorian style, the bus didn't leave on time, so we were fine.
The market was overwhelming in a good way. There were easily a thousand booths there. I bought a blanket, a sweater, a skirt, a scarf, two bags, a soccer jersey, two necklaces, and a few gifts for my family. Needless to say, I spent a lot of money. Nevertheless, I want to go back and buy a few more things.
