• Carnival ready

    After San Nicolas, I started walking E-W past more street shops and kiosks. I even tried the Churros being made fresh on one of the street side handcart.
    A churro is a fried-dough pastry—predominantly choux—based snack. Churros are traditional in Spain and Portugal - from where they originate - as well as the Philippines and Ibero-America.
    There were fruit vendors, flower vendors and I even managed to find a hats wholesaler/manufacturer. I managed to bargain a Colombian hat for 10000 COP. The normal selling price was 30000 COP and none of the sellers I had tried bargaining with earlier had gone below 20000 COP so I was quite pleased.
    Now, I was ready for the carnival 😁😁😁
