Market day. . .

Thought some of you might enjoy these photos from a market I went to on Sunday.  Was in one of the neighborhoods of Phnom Penh and, from the looks I was getting, not often frequented by westerners.  The market sold pretty much everything—meat, fish, fruit, veggies, clothes, watches, jewelry, packaged foods, grains, housewares (bowls, cups, etc), soaps and detergents, shoes. . . you name it.  In the humid, hot day, the smells were intense.  And in the fish/butcher area, I was regretting wearing sandals. . .

many kinds of eggs. . . not sure what the black ones were, but they were coated with some substance that looked like really nice potting soil
