People Selling Things 2

We spent a morning hour in the market in Hue, along the riverbank.  The vendors are evidently used to tourists, and they ignored us, so I was able to take a lot of pictures without feeling intrusive or self-conscious.  I don't think of these people as picturesque, but as hard working women (mainly), living without much of a cushion between them and the hard places of life.

This hat stall was at the Perfume Pagoda.  The people selling there seemed more affluent than the people in the agricultural markets.

 It's not easy to take care of an infant and sit at a stall in the market all day and hope to make some sales.
