The glory and beauty of the markets!





We headed into town for the giant markets on Saturday morning. Incredible!! We met up with one of the girls from school who has been living in town for a few months adn was able to direct us to the best bread guy, peach woman, cheese guy and tomato stall. Fantastic!! I was able to lead us to the fresh pasta guy - black truffle pasta - YUM!!!!


The markets are a gourmet and photographic dream! The food, the smells, the colours, the variety of everything was mind blowing. Emily literally stood us still before we entered the markets, looked us in the eye and said “remember, you don’t need to buy everything!” I must say though, this was the day Megan and I both bought beautiful red handbags!!!

We took our purchases to Emily’s apartment for lunch and enjoyed beautiful bread with four types of cheese, three types of olive, two types of tomato and about four types of olive oil. Emily is an olive oil connoisseur and Megan was luving it!!

A couple of the girls from school came out to watch a practice polo match in the afternoon and we enjoyed a little apperatif before they returned to town. Another lovely day!
