(the news about did me in!). Thank you for taking us with you! I love all the colors and mouth watering cheeses; my favorite is of the lettuce next to the radishes/chili peppers! I'm so grateful for J and her kindness, and I'm glad that you had a cheese-filled, sunny Italian getaway as part of your Christmas celebration!robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04238181152648216554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-55007511353993942872017-01-29T00:52:12.225+01:002017-01-29T00:52:12.225+01:00Oh my!

And it's funny; I have only "opera Italian" and my friends assure me that my French, even though it is so far from being correct, is understandable. So why is it that I feel more welcome to speak "Italian" in Italy and I can barely get the words out in France when I am doing any shopping? And I hate Paris, but LOVE Rome. Maybe I am thinking of retiring in the wrong place? As usual, you've given me something to think about, along with gorgeous photos to drool over.RebeccaNYChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15575406002953430515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-43356400617421270142017-01-28T21:47:47.512+01:002017-01-28T21:47:47.512+01:00I so love traveling with you Heather...and I did s...I so love traveling with you Heather...and I did so to the tunes of Ane Brun.

I am so glad that you enjoyed thi...Dearest Heather,<br />I am so glad that you enjoyed this market. I am thinking of my experience at the market at Place Flagey near where I lived in Brussels, vs. the market in Carcassonne, where I am greeted by name and/or hugs and kisses at a couple of stalls now. In Brussels, my experience was like yours in Arles. It was wonderful--ALL THAT FOOD--yet it was impersonal. We wanted more. And then, we found more. Is that because of them, or is it because of us? I think of how unhappy I was in grade school, and then, like magic, it all changed in high school. New territory, new start. No vendor who remembers you only by the day you had a terrible headache and ignored his friendly pitch, which set him forever against you (even though you had no idea). <br />I had no personal history with the maraîchers of Place Flagey (as far as I was aware), but they did give me the "I don't see you, American person" attitude. When I landed in Carcassonne--a much smaller, kinder pond than BXL--my French was far better. I had the confidence and vocabulary to chat and joke. Places are friendly or not, to an extent, it's true. After that it's up to us and our abilities to cope, which are constantly evolving. Little by little, we conquer the world.<br />Anyway, I am happy you had a good time and that you got such lovely photos for us.

We all have to lift our heads and take in the beauty and deliciousness this world offers. We plan to head out later this morning for the big farmer's market in downtown Portland. We haven't been since before the holidays so I am eager to see what's on offer there. It may be a slimmer version of what we experienced in the fall, but I'll be there will be treasures to be found. Hoping my favorite crepe maker is there. If so, I will think of you while munching on my lunch. xoJudith Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12079409605010969088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-65594826208011378322017-01-28T17:29:18.128+01:002017-01-28T17:29:18.128+01:00I have very fond memories of that day and I think ...I have very fond memories of that day and I think you captured it beautifully. The weather was perfect and there were just enough vendors to find everything we needed - or wanted! I don't remember Mr Green Eyes though. I'll be sure to let you know if he's there this Sunday.Gustiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03602047432864589953noreply@blogger.com
