market day
I live in a wonderful neighbourhood right in the centre of Athens called Gyzi. It's an old working-class neighbourhood, where women of a certain age still wear aprons, sweep their steps and talk to the neighbours across the street from their balconies. I love it! And one of the best aspects is the weekly street market on a Wednesday. I can see the orange canopies of the stalls from my balcony. The produce is wonderful and it is as good as any of the best markets I've visited in Provence. I will let the images speak for themselves.

ReplyDeleteat a market like this .. ~ wish i could visit this
one with you, sweets !
i especially love the 'potatoes and garlic', ~ &
'fish and squid' photos .. so beautiful !!
and love the tones in all of them ..
.. and when i look at the watermelon photo i
can almost taste the amazing sweetness of the
greek watermelons ..
i'll never forget when they came driving with an entire
truck full of them, and stopped by the café where we had
breakfast in the mornings ( in paleohora, crete (( i was about
eleven, i think )) ) .. & we got to pick and choose & they weighed
them on this old fashioned scale. yum !
