Every Friday, there is a market here in my little community of Volcanes. Since I know the market begins early in the morning, but I typically don’t get home from school until after 3:30, I always thought it would be too late to try to go to the market.
So, I was REALLY looking forward to having a day off, the Friday after Thanksgiving, so I could experience my local market for the first time!
I got my money, camera, & backpack ready; then walked down the street. As I was walking towards the market, I thought I’d invite my landlord, who has also become my friend. She answered the door, & a minute later, we were on our way to the market together.
I was SO glad that she was there, because she opened my eyes to things I wouldn’t have noticed! She explained for me what some things were. She introduced me to vendors who were friends of hers, & also believers. And, she helped me ask permission to take pictures.
(I’m so thankful that there’s a market like this in walking distanced from me! Since this first visit, I’ve gone back 6 or 7 Fridays to buy 1 dollar dozen roses, more affordable produce, & even tacos for supper!)
Here are a few pictures
to give you a glimpse of my local market:
