Monday's Street Market (Farmer's Market)
















Pictures taken at the street market right outside my apartment building. The farmers and vendors begin unloading and setting up at 4:30 am. Shoppers begin arriving at 8 am. Both men and women shop, mostly older people. I guess the younger ones are at work. Ninety percent of the shoppers walk, dragging foldable carts that they fill with produce. The woman selling honey spoke English. Her husband was Austrailian and she had lived there for a while. The rest of the vendors do not speak English. This past Monday I also bought 2 dishtowels and a black synthetic skirt with an elastic waistband. (So I can look more Greek!) It goes well with your black vest, Jeanne.
