Our nearby market is full of fresh food and vegetables.
It stretches for at least a long block.
Eva was going for the "glam" look.
In the afternoon Sara stayed behind at our apartment to work on her paper for her class. Jessica navigated us around for the afternoon. Did I mention that she and Sara are GREAT navigators??? Our phrase is "they are IN THE MAP" They are doing a wonderful job of helping us find our way around this beautiful city. I am so thankful for their skills. It is making this trip so nice and relaxing for me since I am so directionally handicapped.
We found a small quilt shop and did a little shopping. It was fun.
In the evening we had dinner at the home of a friend that Sara met in Sri Lanka through the ICRC. It was a wonderful dinner full of great conversation, fun, and laughter.
Jessica is fixing us breakfast. We have done a good job of finding markets nearby. Yesterday we spent the late morning/early afternoon back at the market that is just around the corner. YES, it is really just around the corner. We slept in late and while I was still sleeping Sara and Jessica went out and braved the bakery with the local people. They brought back fresh croisaonts (frnch pasteries, sorry but spell check is in French) we enjoyed a great breakfast before braving the markets and shops. We managed to find a LOT of little treats for ourselves and a few choice others. It is fun just to watch the people. It is a very international market so things are from all around the world.
Must go now, breakfast is waiting for me.
