Photo Break (1 of 2)



























My Bolivian bug collection to date. Some real doozies.



The rest of the photos below are from the markets along Calle Sagarnaga, also known as the Witches Market, for good reason. You can see a number of potions, salves, and powders on the shelves, as well as the freakiest masks ever and a wide variety of dead animals and their former body parts. Escpecially note the dried Llama fetuses in the bottom photo, they are buried underneath new buildings as an offering to Pachamama, the Earth Mother, for building on her land. If someone from Clemonson homes wants to send me a credit card, I´ll bring home a big bag of fetuses, I bet it raises property value to have an aborted camelid underneath the foundation...
