Puno

Another very busy city. Just spending a night here before heading for our overnight stay on Amantani Is. Had to do some shopping ... goodies to take out to our host family. Well staples more than goodies. Went to the local market ... some experience. Couldn´t face the meat sections. So much meat, all in the open stalls, and semi-dark. We headed for the grains and pastas. Ended up with a large baf, rice, pasta, sugar, corn, some other small grain and a big jar of jam ... less than 20 soles (about $7). But then we had this heavy bag to cart out.

Puno appears to be a lively, bustling city. Traffic, like elsewhere is chaotic.
