Class on a Saturday? Yup, that aspect sucked since it meant I couldn't sleep in. However, it was worth it since part of class was going to the Saturday morning market. Kate joined the group a bit late, sadly Paula was too exhausted from the week to go. Although class was just reviewing shopping vocabulary, the market trip was very useful. Next time I go I will leave my wallet at home since there are a handful of begging gypsies roaming around, but other than that the place was like a mini bazaar. There I bought tomatoes, some huge grapes, a little plastic fruit basket, a giant head of lettuce, and even a roasted chicken! To say the least I saved a lot of money at the market because there was no mark-up on the products. They had a lot of material goods like costume jewelry, second hand clothes, leather purses, and shoes. Some people bought cutlery and other kitchen utensils; Kate found a good salad spinner for two euros. All in all it was good shopping market. Luckily it appears every Saturday morning which means grocery shopping just became much more convenient. I will still have to go to the super market for my preserved delicious white bread that lasts forever, but that's just one extra expense. Afterwords we had a chicken dinner with melon, salad, and wine. Kate ended up buying three melons, they were a buy-one deal, which tasted wonderful. The three of us decided that Saturday will be chicken dinner night in the dorms. I hope the plan sticks because the chicken was not only delightful, but also because chicken is meat. Oh how I miss meat.

If class every gets too hard you should drop out and become a gypsy. Though I won't hug you if we visit ...cuz of the smell.
