So, Saturday is market day! And in a tropical environment, you do it outside. Even in the winter time. August is still the dead of winter in Brazil, being south of the equator as it is. It was so funny, me in short sleeves and shorts sitting beside a taxi driver with a heavy winter wool coat on. Overnight lows were 20 Celsius, so it's not like they were perishing! Similar to West Edmonton Mall, most of the shops cater to children and to women's clothing. And all the junk you associate with cheap trinkets from China - they got'em here too! Saturday crowd
