Commerce
With a denser population living largely in apartment blocks as well as high gas prices, most people do their shopping on foot, necessitating some differences in implements...here Dr. F demonstrates how to use the wheelie carts that most grocery stores have. Can't articulate exactly why, but I think these things are hilarious. And here is Maude, the grocery carrier that we share with F's mom. You fill 'er up and wheel 'er to your building, and then you (or someone you know...) haul it up 3 flights of stairs.
This weekend there is a Renaissance Fair in Lasarte. Among the faux Robin Hoods we saw a vendor in traditional Touareg robes-like those guys on the right. He was possibly for reals-there are a lot of North African folks around here, though I doubt he commutes to work like that.
Circled here in red: Biggest. Nutella. Jar. Evah. I didn't succumb to the baked goods yesterday, but there's still today...and on the right, we thought we left California?
