For all of you that know I´m a die-hard cyclist, this sweet ride made me wish I was 2 feet tall.
Not only can you spend money in the markets, you can buy money. There was also many stalls with heaps of coins from around the world. As a coin collector and lover(that´s right I love coins), I had to control myself.
Roller derby anyone? Team America in the house. Stars and stripes til´ death!
Clearly this is what the speculum was for. Wow.
And finally, one can find grinning gold masks from pre-colonial times in the flea markets. Invaluable historical items. Just kidding, this is actually from the Museo del Oro(Gold Museum)in Bogotá, but I´ve been dying for an excuse to post it. Grrrrrr!*

Representing only a small cross-section of the plethora of goods one can purchase. I had a blast killing time and money in the markets, and will return tomorrow to search out more stuff for my apartment. Please rest assured that I purchased none of the items shown here, but am considering a few of them. Hopefully some lucky Colombiano did not snatch them up before I can return to bargain with the sellers for these classic items.

Do not be surprised if there is a part 3 and part 4 to this post.
Really!?! Did I see that correctly... it was a voodoo shrunken vag? I have seen shrunken heads, and there was the character in Beatlejuice but never saw shrunken anatomy. Wow!!! The markets there are a mysterious and wonderful place. I also like the clown ideas you had, both of them!! Hahahahaha.
