Mobile Market

. . . coming soon to a street near you!







In this country baskets on bikes are not just a romantic accessory . . . but a very practical necessity.

  
All kinds of other bars and shelves get added to haul things such as eggs, fish, chicken, leafy greens, vegetables, Indonesian donuts etc.
 
 
 
Every vendor has a designated neighborhood that she visits daily. This is the one that Julene has come to know in her area.



Since this vendor does not sell fruit, we headed to the banana market next.


Have you ever seen such a display of bananas?

Hi Aunt Lisa! Just wanted to stop in and say "hello"!! I've been catching up on your blog posts...and I love reading about your trip. The guesthouse looks gorgeous (Oh, what fun Julene must have had decorating this knowing that one day you would come and visit). The mobile market made me smile :) Reminds me of when I was in the Philippines...they used to serve drinks in plastic bags with a straw on top! Love these photos. They are certainly very creative in attaching and hanging all their items on the bike. I'm wondering how the bike is still standing with ALL that stuff on top!? Give Julene a big HUG from me!!

Love, Bonnie :)

Hi Lisa and Julene!
This market reminds me of Paraguay, yet somehow of Maui as well. You all look so happy to be together. We are praying for continued enjoyment and fun for all. Give our love to Julene and family.
Love Mary
