Fresh veggies and fruit

Yesterday, a woman in my neighborhood and I went to a nearby town to go to the open air market. On various mornings through out the week, different towns have markets where you can find fresh produce, meats, cheese, and sometimes clothes.

This market was small compared to the one in Catania as this was a much smaller town. However, at the smaller markets, you can find some better deals. I bought some fresh strawberries and bananas. My friend bought strawberries, cucumbers, and a pineapple.

We also got a chance to practice our Italian as it's harder to find people who speak English in these smaller towns. We are both taking the Italian language class, so we encouraged one another to try conversing. It has been interesting trying to learn how to communicate and thrive in another culture.
