Liga met us on time . She spoke English and took time to ask our expectations, and educated us on street safety. Enjoyed learning about the regional foods and culture past and present. Come with an open mind and be willing to step outside your comfort zone. Suggest to bring a bag and cash so you can purchase along the way as you do tour.

A nostalgic taste of my cultural roots. You won't need to eat dinner after this but you will need to return because the market is so vast.
