Kimironko Market

From the moment we began pulling the school vehicle into a parking spot, we were bombarded by young men trying to get us to buy their services... help parking the car or watching the car while we shopped. Neither of these were necessary, so we marched on.

We bought these lovely baskets from a  man named John Wayne.
Aren't they beautiful? Only a few dollars each.

Now, on to the produce...

This part was a bit overwhelming. So many vendors... every isle super crowded. 
For just over $1, we hired a couple of personal shoppers - a great choice.
Our new friends took care of finding our produce and paying the proper vendors. 

 Counting up the cost.

Our personal shoppers. Peter is on the left. We'll look for him next time!

We carried 24 eggs home in a paper bag. 
It actually worked out fine.

Our first trip to the market was a success and thanks to Peter, it was nearly* a breeze. 
*Of course, there is was a bit of a language barrier. We asked for celery. They kept coming back with cilantro. But, all in all, it was a great experience.
