Our one purchase at Tarabuco market yesterday was a new hat for me. A hat that has proved to be very popular with the local ladies, and a great conversation starter. Nearly every Bolivian woman sports a hat of some kind, and most of them wear a hat like this.
On the bus on the way home I was admired by a couple of locals who kept taking my hat off, and putting it back on my head at a 'better' angle. Taking it off again, they even inspected the inside of the hat, and were thrilled to find out that it was a Bolivian original. We compared hat 'notes' in sign language as my Quechua language skills are non existant, and they spoke no Spanish.
