My Surface Hippy Adventure

Street Shopping

Despite some sleep deprivation, Saku and I decided to venture outside for a short walk around the block. This was not as simple an undertaking as we envisioned, and we returned hot and tired in a little over an hour. Even on a Sunday, when the main shops were closed, the streets were very crowded, particularly the sidewalks. We purchased a few knick-nacks and engaged in pleasant conversation with vendors. I had a stack of Philadelphia postcards, and people appreciated it when I handed them one or two. Here is a picture of a typical street scene, of Saku interacting with a drum hawker and of a woman extracting juice from sugar cane.
