pictures and market place
love all the pictures, and the previous videos. Really enjoyed watching the guy making your furniture. Loved the market pictures. I could get in trouble here with all the beautiful blue and white items. Loved the blue and white dishes in your previous blog. I find it fascinating that we are the number one country in the world, and with all our knowledge and power, we cannot have fresh, good, healthy, and organic food inexpensively like you can have over there! So much for us being progressive!!!!! :)
