El Mercado

One of our favorite things to do in Bolivia is visit the local market. You can basically get anything you need there, and we go pretty much every day for fresh juice and to buy fruit and veggies to take back and cook at the hostel. The markets are also a great place to go for an authentic look at the local culture and to practice our Spanish with the vendors.

A nice aspect of traveling in Bolivia is that everything is so cheap. Even when we suspect we're getting quoted the special "gringo price," it's hard to complain because you're still walking away with a big bag of veggies for one or two bucks. Never imagined that getting ripped off could be this satisfying!
