The Market

Sunday we went to the market with our friends Danni and Steve. It was while they shut off some of the streets for a few hours, so there were a lot of people out. We stopped in a store with lots of plants, then found a mall further down. Next to it we entered the market. There were some Chinese shoe things (which we thought were funny), and lots of other stuff. We walked down streets just lined with people selling things. There were clips, jewelery, candles, tea, food and more. We stopped by a little stall and picked up some food. They made crepes with nutella and strawberries on them; they were delicious! Dad and Damon also had these bread things with rice and meat in them, which were also good. We kept wandering through the market – there were quite a few rows of people selling things. Soon we came to the “puppy corner”. There were a few people standing there holding the most adorable little puppies, with people petting them, and some buying them, but we went on to the rest of the market. After we looked at a few rows, we found a good place to sit down, and Mom found some drinks and Dad and Damon found some food. The sausage was really good. There was some pork on the plate too, and that was okay. There was some really nasty looking sausage on the plate as well, but only Dad and Damon tried it. Apparently it was blood sausage. They didn't like it very much. The three drinks we got were fruit drinks. One was white with black seeds. The fruit in it came from a huge yellow fruit, and it didn't taste too bad. The second was green, with yellow and green fruits in it. The fruits were a little sour, but it wasn't too bad. The other one was red, and it was sweet and tasted really good. We decided we need a little dessert after that, so Elena and I went to get some churros, with Dad making sure we had enough money. I said “tres churros” and he handed them to me, then waited for the money. Of course we didn't have enough, so Dad added some to what Elena had given him already. The churros were very good. We finished looking at the market, and passed by puppy corner again. There was a very cute puppy that we held and petted for a while. Then we had to go. By then the streets were open again, so we had to use the sidewalk. We were very tired by the time we left. We had gotten some tea and a very good smelling candle (which, funnily enough, came with a stand). I got some really cool earrings that were origami cranes with hardening stuff on them. We also had some cherries. On the way home, we saw a man selling really pretty purple flowers, so we got those too.
