Doesn't this photo of the peppers look familiar? I remember taking a very similar photo at an Ontario farmers' market. But that's where the similarity stopped. The rest of the market looked very different from anything I'd seen. We stopped by this farmers' market on the way to Cusco to catch a glimpse of local life.
Even these squashes looked slightly familiar

Two Peruvian women were buying young chicks to raise at home. It's cheaper than buying full grown chickens.
A happy sheep farmer
Sharing a break
Yummyum...
Dried peppers
All kinds of beans
And of course, quinoa!
It was an eye-opening experience, and I hadn't even shown you the photos of the raw meat...
