Market

On Saturday mornings, they close a street right here by Mom and Dad's apartment for a farmer's market. This is where everyone gets their meat, veggies, fruit, etc. for the week. It is pretty amazing. Some of the most beautiful fruits and veggies I have ever seen. It was a little weird to see meat just sitting out without refrigeration but I guess it works. What is wonderful down here is the cheese! Too bad I have not been able to find any wine, YET!

Yes, the flowers are real and they cost about 5 bucks. Unbelievable. There is not much I love more than fresh flowers.

Meat just out with no ice or anything. They just cut whatever you want. What would the FDA say about this?

Jana, this picture is for you. Cotton Candy all over the world. I "tasted" the kids and it was really good.

No shopping carts, so you hire these kids to push a wheel barrel around with your stuff in it. They were everywhere and they would just follow you, stop when you did, and wait for you to shop. You can see the flowers mom bought in this one.

An example of all the produce. Most of the women wear their head wrapped, a hat, and an apron.

These taste as good as they look. They let you taste everything here. From the cheese to fruit. I wanted some oranges and the lady would cut one open and give me a slice of all these different oranges. There were bags of rasins, nuts, etc. and you could just taste away.
