Open Air Markets

So every saturday my host dad goes into the city center to do grocery shopping for the upcoming week. There is an open air market where he buys all the fresh stuff like veggies, fruits, cheese, meat, bread, etc... well, this weekend my host family is out of town and they left me money to go do the shopping. I had never been to these markets before and was a bit nervous. However, i got there and walked around to familiarize myself. I had made a list of what we needed and I just dove in and started telling the people what I needed. There were so many people there, yet the workers had it down to a science! they were so efficient and quick, yet personable and patient. I didnt feel rushed or stupid or anything! I bought fresh strawberries, apples, bananas, brocolli, carrots, chicken, and duck! It was such a fun experience and I think Im going to start giving up sleeping in on Saturdays to start going with my host dad to the market!
