Normal folks in Otovalo.

Otovalo is the largest outdoor market in South America. Thousands of natives come to town on Saturdays. The hat style of the lady in the center was begun when Europeans got a load of hats which were too small for Europeans heads, so they gave them out to the locals, who have liked them ever since.

When translated, this reads When you buy, buy Ecuador first.

Love of country is everything.

Leaving Quito, going south.
