farmers market

Well this market was huge and it was nothing like i have ever seen before. It takes up about a block. There are many buildings which you can find different types of food. In the first building was the meat section. They had chunks of meat laying out on the tables waiting to be cut just as one like it. You could also find seafood here. The fish were stil alive swimming around and jumping out of their pools. In this building we also came across wine. The most interesting of the selection was the penis wine. I am not sure what kind of animal this came off of but we had a little giggle anyway. Keep walking down the line and there are boxes and boxes of peppers and other really hot looking spices.
We go out of that building and there are a number of really long sheds were alot of the produce farmers are housed.Trucks and trucks of cabbage, cucumbers, garlic, leeks,cauliflower, watermelons,bananas and so much more i can not remember it all. When we were walking i had my camera out and farmer yells at me to take his picture- so i did. Not a second later another guy from across the shed wants his taken to. These are going to be so good- it was much better than imposing on people. And they were having such a good time- we were all laughing. It was amazing that we spoke different languages but communicated quite easily. It was a good feeling.
