Kashgar Sunday Markets

We left the hotel early and visited the market/bazaar. There we did some shopping for our next three meals. This market was different than any other so far. There was a lesser selection of fresh vegetables mixed with lots of cooked food vendors. Someone is getting this pretty purple scarf...i wonder who?  The one most interesting thing about this bazaar was that everything we saw was made in the local country - China-ha-ha!  An interesting paradigm for a change. ALL OF MY CLOTHES and accessories felt at home, having returned to their place of birth. 
 

Next was the world famous Sunday Animal Market. We arrived just as animals were arriving.  Hundreds of tuktuk and wagon, one after another, each loaded with critters, all bound for barter and trade. The sounds, smells, and activity was overwhelming. It was fun to watch the men, and women, bartering angrily, only to smile and shake hands when the deal was made!  We ate at a local noodle bar and watched them make the noodles on the spot. Very cool. 

Then it was down the Karakoram highway toward Pakistan with our destination today at Lake Karakol.
