WE MISS WALMART!!!

These are the pictures of our weekly shopping trip to the food bazaar. Disclaimer: These pictures are taken from the hip without a flash as to not appear like a tourist. The bags over on the right are flour sold by the kilo.
Here Ruthy turned around and said, "Mom come on stop taking pictures you look silly"!
Notice you can get some clothes here and at the other end was a few hardware things like screws and nails.
Good price for eggs. 52 com is roughly $1.50 for 10 eggs. Eggs are not sold by the dozen here.
Here is the covered bread tables.
Dried fruit and nuts stand.
The prices are by the kilogram.
Sweat pants for sale.
Walking through the center of the market.
This is the section where we get all our fresh fruits and veggies. They also have spices, flowers and fish in this section.


This is outside our meat market at the end of our shopping excursion. I have not included the inside of the market because the site of it has made several of the volunteers here strict vegetarians.
This is the fresh meat being brought in. We judge this is a cow by the length of the legs. We originally thought it may be horse since that is a delicacy here.
Fresh from the farm taking it over to the scales to weigh and sell to the butcher in the white shirt and black apron.
Look at all those ribs!
Checking our list before we catch a taxi home.
Our $1 Home Depot bags have served us well. Mikayla is on my back taking her afternoon nap.

How do you survive without Walmart? Looks like an adventure just going to the market. I bet the kids love it! I know you get to see snow there, but can you believe it actually snowed here this week. It was so exciting. Check out Riley's first snow pic on my blog. Happy Holidays!
