Ashlyn's account of her trip to the market today

Today we went to the market.  It was open air, but parts of it STUNK. There was fresh fruits, veggies, and flowers. It was really cool - only the meat and seafood part of it was stinky and kinda’ gross. If you get grossed out easily you would HATE it. There was raw meat hanging in giant slabs you cut straight off the cow. There was also entire pig’s feet and entire cows tongue. There were big bloody, raw slabs of meat everywhere you look. There were also scrawny dogs begging for raw meat scraps. But that is not all. They had liver. As for the seafood part, there was live crabs, fish with there eyes still in, and fish heads siting in a basket. The raw slabs of fish and beef were sitting on giant slabs of ice. But that was not even bad compared to the thieves - not that we got robbed or anything. But if anybody came up to you and put a gun to your back you better give them what they want. I mean what if they wanted your clothes blahhhhhhhh. My mom said she would hide behind the melon pile. -  Ashlyn
