Today was our preparation day and Mary wanted to go to the big open air market we have driven through several times. On the way there, we were entertained again by an unusual act.

I don't know if you can tell but he is juggling while sitting on a unicycle. I was impressed.

This isn't a very good picture but here is one block lined with little stands selling all sorts of stuff.

We bought some produce that is amazing. In other countries where I have purchased produce from street stands, it was kind of rough. But this produce (onions, tomatoes, broccoli, etc.) is wonderful.

We understand that the ocean is at least 1.5 hours away by car. How long must it be by ox cart?

That is a full load of Chilean seaweed (cochayuyo). Just looking at it can stimulate nausea. Imagine what eating it must be like.
