I still buy too many things at the supermarket though. At least we barely drive (we make up with miles whenever hubby has to do job hopping, I guess ;) As for Valentine's day - we didn't really do anything. We love each other every day ;) <abbr><em>Nicole’s last blog post..<a href="http://nicoleb.org/b2/index.php/took-the-chance-and-walked" rel="nofollow">Took the chance and walked</a></abbr></em> You are lucky to live in a country where you can get most fresh stuff all year long (at least I think so).

We only found one at home, but now that we're studying abroad, we've been able to visit a number of them. Each is more interesting than the last, both in variety of products and the people you find there (I'm very much a people watcher.) For some reason, though, it never occurred to me that I should carry my camera with me on a regular basis. I've snapped a couple of photos at different ones, but... never really looked at all of the photo opps that I was passing up! <abbr><em>Matthew’s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/adventure-some/~3/ZJvnafXRXDA/" rel="nofollow">The Importance of Packing Light</a></abbr></em> I love going to the farmer’s market!
