Ciao!
Last Friday around 11 I decided to go out into town to walk around and take some pictures and then head to the park to waste my day away reading on a blanket in the shade. When I left the apartment I noticed how quite it was compared to the normal sounds coming from the various apartments and businesses nearby. But the town was so still. I shrugged it off and just kept walking towards the park. Almost less than a minute later though I was stopped in the middle of an intersection by a long stand selling shoes. I was so confused but then delighted that I stumbled upon the Friday Market. The town was so quiet because everyone was in the center of it at the market. The sale was expansive and went on for several blocks and then even flooded into the piazza. There were vendors selling local vegetables, fruits, cheeses, meats, breads, clothes, toys, craft supplies, furniture, decorations, cooking supplies and I'm sure a lot more that I missed. It was so alive and fun-little kids to the elderly could find something to do and buy there. By the time I made it to the park I realized I'd spent nearly an hour just walking around looking at everything the market had to offer. I just let myself get lost among all the vendors. That's one of the best parts about being over here I think-getting lost. It's so much fun to get caught up in someone elses world and way of life and just forget yours for a little bit. Stephen said it happens every Friday so I'll fersuree be there again. After the park I walked around taking pictures of some of my favorite parts of the town so far. Montichiari I'd say is smaller than Elkton but it feels big because towns are so close together and so many people live here. Anyways, here are the pictures: There ya have it. The best views of Montichiari that I've found so far. It really is beautiful here, I love it.
Ciao!
