Parry's Corner

Parry's Corner is a famous market here in Chennai. It's an historic place that's been there many, many years. People always say you can only take Parry's corner in small doses and now I know why. It's crowded, overpowering, hot and at the same time so colorful and quaint--almost like a step back a few decades. I kept seeing things that would have reminded me of shopping in the 1950's. The pictures speak for themselves except for the last part where I had to put away my camera. Just as we came up the last street, we encountered water, then manure, then manure and water and at that point it was too late to turn around. Whichever direction we went, we had to go through "sludge"! Now I grew up on a farm, but the heat, the crowds, the smell and the sludge under my feet were just too much!!! When my friend asked me how I liked Parry's Corner, I told her, " I went, I saw, I'm done!!!"
