Leticia's Market

Markets define locales. My experience has been that if one wants to obtain an immediate feel for a place, walk its market. The market place in Leticia, Colombia, located on the bank of the Amazon, is no different. Except for the fact that a majority of its shoppers arrive by boat. This market place was obviously representative of the fruits of the Amazon -- fruits, vegetables and meats.
