Another photo taken at the Otavalo market
A photo of me that was taken in Otavalo, Ecuador back at the beginning of October was published today in the Mountain View Voice; that being the Mountain View in California, home of Google, and my old place of residence.
I was in Otavalo (three hours north of Quito) to visit the famous indigenous market. The market dates to pre-Incan times and is still a big deal even if it is a bit touristy, you can read about the history of the Otavalo market here.
You can see the online version of today’s Mountain View Voice here, just search for “postcard” to find my picture.
The girls are not wearing costumes that is everyday attire, they were well educated, spoke some English, and had email addresses, and I am not going to lie, I gave them five bucks for ice cream.
Thanks to Diane Martin at the Mountain View Voice for choosing my photo.
