Local Market, Tanzania

Once a month the villages near Ngorongoro Crater gather together to have a large market and auction where people can trade or sell their goods.  The market is intended for locals only and we were very lucky to get a small glimpse into this amazing market.  People walk miles and miles to reach the market some carrying their goods on their backs or perched atop their heads.  Everything imaginable is sold from clothes (including Obama underpants), to Masai shoes made of tires, to cooked meat, to live goats and cows.  It was an exciting, bustling and aromatic event.  There is also a well at the market site, one of the only for miles around.   We watched as locals filled large buckets with water and carried the very heavy buckets balanced on their heads for incredibly long distances.
