The umbrellas are because this market is at the Equator, in the city of Belem, at the mouth of the Amazon River. It is very hot. At 6 a.m. it is already 30 degrees Celsius. It also rains at the Equator, every day, for two hours in the afternoon. The umbrellas are useful for both sun and rain. 

Markets are always very exciting and somewhat confusing. There is every possible smell, sound, taste, colour, and sound happening there, in a very small space. It is much more fun to go to a market than a supermarket. Markets are found in every country in the world. What things can you see for sale?
