As you begin your adventure in a thirdworld country one of the best places to hunt down after ofcourse finding a place to stay would be the market. Stuffed with stalls each offering some common staples but many differing with their own specialties. From fruits and vegetables, to nuts and grains, baked items and sweet goodies, there are many things to take a look at. The wide array or displays popping with various colors are sure to inspire grabbing a snack or ingredients for a tasty meal.
The more you visit with your business and a smile, the more the market mothers smile back and seem to offer better bargains. Beyond a potential better bargain is the prospect of making a new friend and learning something new. They help you find the ripest fruits and if you stick around long enough you may even get a special recipe or cooking advice! This isn’t just a farmers markets, this is the main grocery store for fresh produce. The open air and warm sunlight that breaks into the maze of stalls guides your senses along. For travels on a budget its the best place to gather food materials at a low price. You also learn to eat in season which is better for your body. So go check out your local market! Feel free to share your unique finds or what ever inspires you.
How wonderful to enjoy life’s tasty adventure!
Your photo took my breath away + made me exclaim, “oh, my!” also, I appreciate your sound advice about frequenting a market, instead of just stopping by once. I’m going to take your advice the next time I can.
Love looking at all the fruits and veggies. Yum. Miss you!
