Shopping day!
It seems like we fit so much in to our time out today.
Returning to the market, there was so much to see, hear, taste, and smell!
I filled my water bottle at one of the spring-fed fountains mentioned during the tour yesterday.
Several people were gathered drinking around some of the fountains and Carl told me that people will put their beer bottles in the cold spring water to cool!
Now THIS is my kind of water cooler chat! Out in the sun, people walking by, a busy market scene to fill conversational lulls, thank-you-very-much!
We ducked in and out of shops and stalls and even beyond the market to the shopping area. I have been on the hunt for a watch. The romanticism of asking a handsome foreign man for the time has worn off in favor of the practicality of being able to map out my days more precisely. The sales clerk who finally assissted me in purchasing my watch was surprisingly pleasant.
Back home for a quiet evening. I'm really glad for the time and opportunity to check-in on-line with messages and update the blog! I picked up a few postcards today and look forward to getting a few of those of to people as well!
