Vandy had told me that there was a big open air market on Saturday in Preveza, so we decided to check it out. I didn’t tell Trip how long of a walk it was (and we had gotten off the boat late so it was hooooot), and he was complaining every time we walked past another little produce market. I was not to be deterred.

It was worth the walk. There were multiple vendors there with all sorts of produce to sift through. The supplies in Montenegro and Croatia had been good, but there were new goodies to sample like sweet cherries, sorrel, and spinach. Lemons and limes the size of a big man’s fist spilled out everywhere (the limes aren’t super juicy, but the lemons sure are).

There was even a man at the very end selling eggs. As I hadn’t expected eggs I had not packed a container, but he gently placed them in a special paper bag and I added them to the top of the pile and prayed that they would stay in one piece.

It turns out Vandy and Eric had gotten a late start as well and were at the market at the same time. We wandered back into town together and had a leisurely late & wonderfully long breakfast at one of the tavernas. Breakfast and the market were the only things we accomplished that day, but what an accomplishment.
