I was utterly dismayed to realize that there are no good, cheap clothing stores here. Vera and Garrucha are pretty touristy areas with tons of old English folk; hence, I am restricted to over priced, old lady boutiques- how depressing! Therefore, I was overjoyed on market day to find myself surrounded by cheap clothes, shoes and jewlery. I have to say though, my most exciting purchase was a bag of fresh curry! It smelled so good I contemplated putting it in my underware drawer but decided against it. The market here webs it's way through the streets and offers a little something for everyone, and a little everything for me. I treated myself to candied almonds but I'm still a little overwhelmed by the olive selection, perhaps next week I'll tackle that one.
Aside from the market I had a pretty relaxed weekend; a little too relaxed for my taste. I've made a pact with myself to never spend another weekend here without a car! There's just too much to see and it's certanily not in Garrucha.
SORRY NO ENGLISH SPELL CHECK

Okay, I'm an a-hole for not reading your blog since New York! I've been missing so much! You are a great writer, Lauril and your adventures are sure something to write about! I am so excited for you. So do you only go to school once a week? How old are the kids? Can you talk about Joanna? MISS YOU SO MUCH!
