Come Rain or Shine: The Market

On Friday we visited a local market in a town called Porcia. These markets are where the local folks get their fresh meats, seafood, produce, breads, and cheeses. It was so cool to see giant cheese rounds and all the fresh fruits and veggies. There was also a vendor that was cooking meats and pasta favorites to munch on. We got some rotisserie ribs and they were delicious! The fish vendors were so interesting--fresh octopus, squid, snails, and various fishes. The buckets holding the very much alive snails were so crazy! At one fish vendor, a snail had managed to escape the bucket and onto the shelf. The boys thought it was so funny. The Italian lady running the fish stand scooped up the wayward snail, put him in a bag, and gave him to Bradey. It was so sweet! "Luigi" the snail now lives in a tupperware container in Bradey's room. He spends his days munching lettuce, happy to have escaped someone's dinner table.
