The Friday Market

Today was a little more low-key, which was much needed. We enjoyed a simple lunch at home outside on the patio - cold cuts and cheese.

Later, in the early afternoon, we drove back over to the little town of Ventimiglia for their weekly Friday market. The streets were packed - vendors as far as the eye could see selling jewelry, leather purses, belts, clothes... We wandered around a few cashmere and jewelry stands before Jo found a beautiful gift for her daughter and we headed over to the food part of the market.

There were rows and rows of fresh fruits and vegetables, homemade pasta, meats, and flowers sold by local farmers. It was one of the most colorful places I've ever been.

Ended off our beautiful afternoon with gelato!

Clockwise from top: yogurt, mango, and watermelon!
