A Trip to the Market!

Saturday morning was absolutely beautiful.  The sun was out and there was a slight chill to the air.  The cool, crisp morning had us commenting that it would be the perfect day for tailgating at a college football game.  Our conversation quickly turned to imagining the things we would eat at this tailgate - grilled hot dogs, chili, etc.  Sadly, there was no tailgate in our future that day, but we did have a great morning exploring an open air market that is not very far from our apartment. 

The market is open on Wednesdays and Saturdays.  I have read that it is one of the best open air markets in Paris - so understandably, it was super busy.  In my head I had decided that this was the day I was going to try to actually purchase something at the market.  I have walked through the market before, but it can be quite intimidating....especially when your French is not good. 

I'll admit that once again, I was too intimidated to try to purchase something.  Bummer.  But I did get several pictures to show you  what the market is like.  One day my post will be all about the great things I bought at the market....but don't hold your breath for that one.  It could be awhile...



Please notice the heads/necks hanging over the edge of the display case.

Do you want to take some of these home?

Although we didn't buy anything at the market, we managed to find a patisserie where we purchased a yummy pastry to share.  It's funny how I can't find the courage to buy vegetables, but when it comes to pastries I have no problem...
