Friday night we went to the local fair in Cochabamba. It was nothing like the fairs at home. In addition to rides and food and some artisan booths, they also were selling dentist chairs (at more than one location), chain saws, cleaning supplies, and cat food. There were beauty queens all decked out in their evening gowns who were advertizing for Pringles and candy, or you could take a picture with them. It was so bazaar. The most incredible thing is that today I got coffee, dinner, transportation to and from the fair, entrance fee to the fair, drinks and food at the fair, and paid back a friend for the movie ticket from the night before for only about $14!! Everything is pretty cheap here.
On another note, the weather is getting colder in the evenings, but still sunny during the day. I am going to go the the big market this week and buy a new sweater (or jumper as the British say) and a scarf!
