Selling Baked Goods .... Cartagena-Style

I saw several of these ladies in their colourful outfits (the skirt often sporting the colours of the Colombian flag) .... all were carrying their goodies on their heads: fruit, snacks etc .... I suspect it was for the benefit of Cartagena's tourists.

    I like the multi-coloured skirts and top and she has impressive head skills and balance to carry that up there!! It would give me a headache I think!

    Hope, you've bought one of
    these dresses for yourself too?
    Or would you look out of place,
    when you wear it in Vancouver?
    Nice snap.

    Das sit schon ein Blickfang, so bunt gekelidet und die Last am Kopf, was ich ja sehr bewundere, aber sicher besser für den Rücken. Tolle Straßenszene!

    attraktiv sind sie auf jeden Fall und für die Fotografen sicher immer ein Foto wert.

    Die Damen mit ihren Lasten auf dem Kopf haben hier hoffentlich Vorfahrt? Klasse dieses Kleid in den Farben Kolumbiens!
