Different from Douvaine





Those of you who are familiar with my habits will know how much I like to go to the market in Douvaine on Sunday mornings, and particularly with Anastassja. Well, for Easter Sunday this year we had a special treat: the market of Chinchero. This typical Andean village, at an altitude of 3762m, was the birthplace of the rainbow according to the Incas and was certainly full of colour! We got there early, about 9am, before the other tourists arrived, and I think you’ll agree, these pictures speak a thousand words.
