Market Madness (It was fun don't worry)

Today was Wednesday and we went to a market in Verettes.
The whole experience was overwhelming but very enjoyable.
As we entered, everyone was asking us to buy their items.
Our guide, Frederique, helped us bargain for good prices.
Julia and I bought some really cool hats!
We also went to see the "parking lot". Many people came from far away and they had many things to sell. To make their trip easier they take horses and donkeys. The parking lot is just where all the people park their animals when they come.
We split in two groups and walked around and through different tents or stands. People were making food to sell like soups and small cakes with sugar inside. People had shoes, make-up, clothing, soap, oils, hats, and loads of various fruits and vegetables too. We also saw the part of the market where they sell charcoal. Charcoal is a major item in Haiti because that is the only way to cook your food. People in order to get the charcoal they need, have to cut down the few remaining trees. Barely anyone in Haiti owns a stove or oven. The market has a part devoted just to animals like chickens, goats, and pigs. Truckloads of pigs and goats were waiting to be sold. As we walked by people held out their chickens so we would buy them. We didn't though. After we were finished at the market we hopped in the car to go find a waterfall that we couldn't find the previous day. I believe Julia is writing about that. Signing off- Emily:)
