Saturday - work day and shopping

Worked the morning, then went to downtown Morogoro.

The whole place is one huge market, selling everything and anything including new and used.

It was very competitive - trying to get the best pictures of the most massive things you can carry on your head.  Ian would stop people and get them to pose for him - some would , some got irritated.  Mine are all natural and discrete.

The fruit and vegetables are amazing.  and they are everywhere.  You are always afraid you are going to step on someones livelihood. 

 What are these?

 And this ??

 and more

 And moving a tire

 Negotiating the deal

And you never know what might come driving by.  yes... actually driving, not parked.

 Corn on the cob on the sidewalk, on the grill. 

I loved this and asked permission to take this picture.  Old Singer sewing machines which are foot powered by pressing with your foot on the plate near the ground. 

 

 Christie, Ashish, Petra, Sonja and Ian all shopping endlessly for Kangas - a traditional African wrap that women wear. 

 

Many choices for Kangas.

 

Carrying a bit of firewood - on where else?
