Mercato, ancora.

It's mercato day again in Via Bacchettoni.  I went out early to take photos, came home for a sandwich, then out again with Nancy . We ran into mother-daughter cousins Luanna and Isabella, who were out shopping themselves, and enjoyed a little chat.

Photo:  Each vendor has their own spot - within painted marks on the street - and arrives before sunrise.  Most of the vans are almost identical, and have hydraulically powered awnings that emerge from rooftop boxes.  The carefully packed contents are put out in the morning and loaded back in around 2 p.m., and then they're off to a street market in another town tomorrow.

  1. We're following your blog. Sounds like you're having fun and getting some work done too. I love those foldout market awnings. See if you can get us the North American exclusive dealership. We'd make a fortune!
    Here's what we've been doing.
