This morning was a beautiful morning without a cloud in the sky. The sky was even blue like in Montana. This is quite a contrast with yesterday’s downpours. We only had a couple of hours before Don’s appointment at eleven, but we decided to check out another Saturday market and the neighborhood around it.
The market was beautiful and about the same as usual with counters of fresh veggies and fruits, cheese, fish, meat, rotisserie chicken and a few other things like leather goods and scarves.
There were a couple of differences however. We noticed at a tomato stall that there was a very long line of people waiting to purchase the fruit. We wondered why there was such a line and decided from the way the many varieties and colors of tomatoes were boxed that they must have come directly from the farm. Evidently the people knew that this was a treat!!
As we neared the end of the 4 block long market, we noticed a film crew filming the people leaving ….or so we thought. After exiting the market we noticed that they were intently filming a nice young lady who kept picking up an apple and smiling at them. As usual, we had no idea what was really going on. It may have been a commercial for television or a picture taking session for the apple company or ????
As we walked back down the other side of the street we noticed that there were several Parisians doing what Parisians like to do….sitting at the sidewalk café drinking their morning coffee and watching the people over at the market. To bad we didn’t have time to join them….
