I went to the market again today because I had to pick out fabric for my traditional African outfits. I am pretty excited to see how they turn out! The market went as usual . . . I have caused some problems in the market for Janet because people see me with her and assume I have given her lots of money so they won’t bargain as low with her . . . kind of funny. At the market you can get EVERYTHING literally like anything you need including a husband!! This older man selling oranges decided he was going to marry me and then we could go back to the states together. He was joking but proceeded to announce to about 30 people around us that we were getting married and everyone should look at his new white wife (As if everyone wasn’t already staring at me!!). I kind of want to take some pictures in the market but I feel it would be a little awkward. Imagine walking through Wal-mart and having this random person taking pictures of you and groceries in the store . . . um I would be pretty creeped out!!! So I think maybe next time I will go and have Pearl take pictures of me with some of the vendors that we go to every week because some of them remember me.
After market we went to the seamstress so I could pick styles for my outfits and be measured. There were so many to choose from!! The outfits are supposed to be done by the end of this week so I guess I will see how they are then.
