Class was so chill today. Dr. Hall wore shorts and sandals, which just told me that this was going to be laid back and meant to be enjoyed.
There's a market here that's huge and green, and it's filled with local vegetables and fruit. It's wonder. I bought 1 kilo (roughly just over a pound) of cherries and a thing of bananas for like $2.50 American. I really wish American stores were like this . . . because here everything literally is sold when it's fresh. I'll try to load some pictures of how they use every avaiable piece of land to farm . . . it's so green.
Dinner we got at the local supermarket, and it was so good. We definitely are learning the language here, and the locals are loving it. Sometimes they speak a little too much and then we're lost - and so we go back to being American and show just how confused we are - - - and then the locals start using sign language or something to help us out. It's so nice here. The people are so incredibily friendly!
It's around 8:45 p.m. here, and we're all just hanging out . . . so I'm gonna go back and relax with them some more. Take care!

What are some of the fruits and vegetables that are grown there? What is now in season that is fresh from the farm that is at the market? Love that you tell about the area and stuff you do for the day.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Mom.
Fruits and veggies are just like what can be grown back home. Literally, these people will farm on maybe 20 feet of land. It's something that one of our professors said started before the Communist regin and still goes on today. It's very interestin to know that these people use everything they have to help provide for themselves.
ReplyDeleteRight now, the season is perfect for cherries! Kevin, Moses and myself went to the market tonight and we each pound a Kilo of cherries and some other common fruits, and they are perfect.
On the salads are actual GREEK OLIVES, still with the pit inside. The taste is completely different than the olives we have back home.
I'll try to take some pictures with Kevin's camera, since I forgot my connection chord back home, and load them for what a typical day would be for us.
