Me and my new found friends were shopping in the market for warm cloths for our upcomming journey. I wanted something warm for my....well, my everything. I needed a hat, sweater, and pants. Since everything made of alpaca wool here is both warm and cheap, it was the natural starting point.
After driving, what we thought was a hard bargin (I'm sure it was still marked up for us gringo's). We walked away with some hats, and a couple of sweaters. But one shop we stopped at for a while, we did not buy anything from, but tried on many of their things. We did this at many of the stores...or more like tables set up at this open air market.
But as we were returning home, one of my new friends relized he was missing his backpack. A quick panic went through him as he had credit cards and money in his bag. He ran back to the market and checked all of the shops. The one shop, where we tried many things on but didn't buy anything, had actually set his bag aside and was waiting for him to return for it.
Nothing was gone! Even the cash was all there. You always have to keep your gaurd up when traveling, but it is sure good to know that when you slip up (which you inevitably will), there will not always be a bad person there to capitalize on your mistake.
