Visiting the Market

It's an annual event, visiting the market and speaking English. We went this morning after breakfast. The weather was hot and humid, but luckily it was overcast.

After getting watered up, we left for the market. This a famous covered bridge, the one where we took the picture with the Serra students from last year.

 Just pointing out the sights.

 This woman was selling eels. Mmm...

While there were many chicken and duck eggs, these multi-colored eggs were a new one for the seminarians. We figured it was some sort of small bird, perhaps a dove.

I'm not sure why I took this picture.

This elderly woman is very poor and we decided to buy some tomatoes from her. She was very sweet and allowed me to take her picture.

We always make friends, and here is one we met on the way back from the market. She didn't say much, but she was happy to pose.

We walked along the canal to and from the market. The trees gave some shade but it wasn't  really needed. We only got some bread (in the shape of crabs), the tomatoes, and some flowers that we gave to the sisters. All in all, a good morning.
