The One With The Katengele Market (10/14/2012)


Yesterday morning Ashley and I decided to go to the market in Katengele.  It is a little over two hours each way.  I had thought that the walks that we had been doing had a lot of uphill but compared to this walk that they are nothing.  It was a challenging climb but we got to walk with some students who were showing us the way which was really fun.  When we finally got there I was shocked! The market was enormous! There were clothes and fabric and produce, there were women cooking and selling lunch and places to get tea.  Ashley and I hung out there for about two hours.  I can’t believe there is such a big market way out here in the mountains (and I really can’t believe that so many women walk all the way up this big hill with baskets to things to sell on their heads!)  We finally made it home, tired and a little sore, but it was a beautiful hike and a great market!
