    Farmer's Market outside Sucre

    By about 1:30 we had finished the tour of the dinosaur park. We walked out to the main road. The bus no. 4 was waiting to go to town. This time we didn't ask the price but just handed over 3 b$ to the driver, which he readily accepted.
    On the way, we were crossing the Farmer's market where we had seen some interesting roadside vendors. We were in a double mind whether to get off or not since Sucre is still 3 kms away and it would have taken us about 45 min to walk back. The bus slowed down due to the crowd on the road and also to pick up people that's when I saw what I thought we call Chuski or Gola in India. Its finely crushed ice covered with colored sweet syrups of different flavors. Nowadays, its become an almost extinct item in India. I started telling Hristo about it. He had never seen or heard about it so we decided at the spur of the moment to get off and try it and also explore the rest of the market and maybe even have our lunch here.
