To market, to market we go

On Saturday, I decided to take Allison with me on my weekly shopping trip. Since I still am afraid to drive, we took a taxi. Allison enjoyed the ride with the 4 other passengers! Once we arrived there was still much walking to be done. There are no HEB's or Kroger's here! We went to each area of the open-air market buying our vegetables from some women on the sidewalk along the way. The vegetable ladies were thrilled when Allison tried out her Hausa for them. We even took some time to look at some Nigerian fabric. Allison wants to have a dress made, so we will return to the market to buy some colorful fabric when we have less to carry. All in all we probably walked well over a mile, but Allison was nicely rewarded with a pineapple Fanta and a package of TicTacs. She even said she would like to come again!
