School Field Trip

This week I tagged along with Elana's 1st grade class to the Weiden Farmer's Market.  It is located in the middle of town.  The cobble stone roads are off limits to vehicles (or very limited vehicle access).  There was a large variety of fresh fruit, vegetables and flowers.  While at the market, I purchased 1/2 a pinapple and some strawberries.  Elana purchased a bundle of fresh flowers for €2.50 (Euro) which is equivalent to about $3.75.  We stopped by a baker's stand while wandering around the market area and bought a donut with vanilla icing and sprinkles.  Elana ate it quickly and with a huge smile.  Saying it was fantastic! 

The farmer's market supposedly runs on Wednesday and Saturdays.  The one 1st grade teacher informed the parents who tagged along that the market is much larger on the weekend.  Elana has asked that we come back again soon.  I wouldn't mind going back either.  The pinapple I bought was so juicey that my counter was drenched in juice by the time I was done cutting it up.  Unfornetally the strawberries only lasted about 2-3 days before they went bad, but they were delicious and worth getting again.
