sheeps goats scarves high heels

Walking through the main street of Berat = men selling live sheep on the sidewalk, sheep tied up and laid down, panting in the sun awaiting their fate. Up the street, goats with feet tied up awaiting sale. Men sitting in coffee shops (that do ONLY sell coffee and beer). Old ladies dressed in black head to toe, hunched over, head scarves, lovely black handbags, doing the shopping. Men wearing tweed jackets, rimmed hats, shiny shoes and black pants, likely smoking. Markets stalls with 'fresh' fruit and vege, lollies, and cracker sticks. Cobbled streets teeming with young people out of work. Old houses with tiled roofs. Horses sometime wandering the streets by themselves. Families passing on horse drawn carts loaded with miscellaneous crap. Lamb slaughtering festival in the mountains booked for this weekend.....!
