This morning we went to a local feria or Farmer's Market where there were so many choices of fresh fruits and vegetables. Our friends Claudio and Selma took us there and said that it is a small market, and that there are many that happen all around Santiago on both Saturdays and Wednesdays each week. The market seemed quite big to me, and there was really everything you might want to get, fresh fruits such as apples, pears, bananas and lemons, as well as all kinds of vegetables including carrots, broccoli, peppers and onions. They even had fresh fish and lots of seafood, including oysters and mussels, although we didn't get any at this time today.The sun is also peaking through the clouds today and with it comes a hint of the warmth of spring that will soon follow. The evenings are a bit cool but quite enjoyable, a welcomed change from the heat and relative humidity of El Paso during this time of year. We can see the Andes with their snow covered peaks from the balcony of our apartment, and we feel very blessed to have such wonderful people here to watch out for us at every turn. We truly thank God for bringing Juan, Taty, Claudio and Selma into our lives.

Okay, you know Sunay and I are jealous already - Farmers Markets are one of our favorite travel activities! Looks so awesome - reminds me of the Shivaji Nagar in Pune....only with vegetables I recognize. Have fun (in between the work) and we'll look forward to more blogging.
