Uros woman

During the visit to the Uros island we were treated to a re-enactment of a trading market where the Uros people meet with other islanders and mainlanders to trade. This was an undisciplined affair, albeit good humoured, which involved much chattering and grabbing at the goods on offer! At the end of demonstration one of the girls dropped her blanket, spilling reeds and eggs over the floor. This brought about much hilarity as you can see.
