Every Saturday, at the end of our little street, is a “farmer’s market”.  The street is shut down and filled with little stalls of veggies, odds and ends, flowers and what not.

We’ve started getting into the habit of walking down to the flowers section and buying flowers for our room.

All sorts of fresh flowers are available and a bundle costs 15 pesos.  13 pesos equals $1, so it’s inexpensive and fresh flowers in the room are nice.

I also love seeing all the fresh fruit and veggies.  But the problem for us is that we have a shared kitchen and there’s no place to store stuff.

For example, I’d love to buy a pineapple, cantelope, etc, but there’d be no place to store all the extra fruit after one meal.  There’s just not enough room in the refrig.  And I’d hate to waste that extra fruit, so for now, we just walk around and enjoy the sight!
