Unfortunately we didn’t get any shots of the vendors, unlike telemarketers on whom you can simply hang up the phone, chasing and cajoling us to buy their merchandise, while thrusting their goods into our hands.

The telemarketer is part of the challenge Mae. Thanks for stopping by
Wow, phenomenal photoblog…. wonderful way to weave the prompts together with an exotic blend. Just goes to show you can never escape telemarketers anywhere in the world. Love it!!!!
I like photo blogs Colleen – not much to write!
Every time Barb comes back from China she has a story about a vendor chasing/following her around the market because she said no and they weren’t going to accept that answer.
One of the problems was very few tourists We were on holiday and they need it more than I do
I love the first one, the sales pitch man with his token flag fluttering away and totally disinterested lol… The alabaster plant looked messy Sue… but I loved the heat haze with the palms and the donkey in the foreground, you can almost feel the heat coming out of the picture Sue…
The telemarketers desert style looked more like a road block… ahahahha…
but the small Pharaoh’s Bazar looks like a bar sign Sue!!…
I love your picture blogs… you have a good eye with a camera Sue… brilliant xxx
the alabaster place was a hoot which I had a vid
🙂 I got a real chuckle out of the sign “Small Pharaoh’s Bazar! Made me think about those old “The Little King” cartoons! 8 points Earthling! 🙂
