Witch market in La Paz, Bolivia. Where you can find amulets, cures, curses, things to jinx someonething with or prevent yourself from being jinxed, rabbit’s foot and other lucky charms.
[Fr] Le Marché aux Sorcières de La Paz en Bolivie. Lieu où l’on trouve toutes sortes d’amulettes, de quoi se protéger du mauvais œil, jeter des sorts à quelqu’un quelque chose, s’en protéger, des pattes de lapin et autres portes-bonheur.
[Es] El Mercado de las Brujas en La Paz, Bolivia. El lugar en dónde se encuentran amuletos, de que curarse, echar o eludir el mal de ojo, patas de conejo y otros artículos para la suerte.

… and the usual lot of diverse and various interpretations of the theme on the Daily Post, where you can also find what the challenge is all about! 😉
Happy week-end in foreign lands!
Another place to add to my travel list! Thanks for visiting.
Nice interpretation of the theme.
ahaha thanks! I’m pretty sure you strolled around too when you were in La Paz! 😉 did you find something worthwhile?
Actually I haven’t bought anything there…yet. I have to walk through there this afternoon and its funny because now I’m so familiar with this place that it doesn’t feel foreign anymore.
I can relate to that. Enjoy the stroll then!
Love that you post in 3 languages! Well done!
Thanks! Happy you liked it! Can’t wait to add a fourth! 😉
Great photo. I love your header photo. What are those brush like things?
Thank you! the picture header changes all the time but the one you mention is a close-up of incense sticks drying in the sun, right after being made at the local, family factory we visited in Hue, Vietnam.
Wonderful shot!
Markets are almost always my favourite part of every city.
Excellent example of the things we see and buy on trips. 😉
Definitely! I left with a bunch of amulets! 😉
Yippee! 😉
I have been there!
did it feel as foreign and strange to you as it did to me?
