By now you've heard stories about the really interesting markets here in Chile. They range from weekly neighborhood markets that happen on local streets to more permanent markets that take place over the space of city blocks. These markets are famous here in Chile and throughout the world for their size and the eclectic nature of what you can find. The area isn't always the best for getting snap happy with a camera, but if you can imagine it, you can buy it at these markets. The one for which that is most true is Bio Bio. I'm not sure that with the ten months that we will be here that we'll be able to figure this place out. It has more stuff, more buildings, and more mazes that you lose yourself in than I can describe. Here is as best a representative sample as I could give you in one blog post. Feel free to throw out questions and I'll happily tell you if I've seen it there. Preserved insects as art, kitchen fixtures, construction materials and tools, electronics, books, car parts, old industrial machinery, fine art, great restaurants, bicycle shops....the list goes on.
