Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for me to get back on the blogging train!
After one of our morning treks in Rwanda, we had the opportunity to visit a farmers market located outside Ruhengeri. We were the only Caucasian tourists in sight, in fact I think we were the only tourists there amongst hundreds of Rwandans! I snapped a few pictures of the produce and products we came across in the market, which can be seen below.
Our guide led us through the market and one of the most interesting things he told us was that the most expensive thing in the market by far was an apple. In the market, one could buy one apple for the price of 6-8 tomatoes!
