Potato sacks

In Tiraque we went to the market where the farmers sell potatoes. They pack them in 100 kg  sacks which are open so that the buyers can see what they are getting and then the women sew them closed and the porters carry them onto the waiting trucks. Its amazing to see these guys most of whom are smaller than me, man-handle 220lb sacks onto their backs and carry then up the ramps. I was impressed.
