An entire world of very, very little things

This is long overdue, but back in La PAz, Bolivia we went to a market called Alasitas. It is a gigantic market (seriously, we kept getting lost) made up of hundreds of stalls selling millions of very little things.
The idea behind it is that you buy in miniature whatever you want to come true in the coming year. There was absolutely everything: all kinds of foods, tools, tiny stores, armies, animals, intenet cafes, graduation certificates, marriage certificates (including fake miniature marriage ceremonies with miniature bottles of champagne), and even divorce certificates.

There were also chocolate and candy coated grapes - incredibly delicious.


We bought very little suitcases and ate lots of very little churros (stuffed with dulce de leche).
