"To journey without being changed is to be a nomad.

To change without journeying is to be a chameleon.

To journey and to be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim." -Mark Nepo

A Winter's Trip to the Farmer's Market


Saturday was warm.  We celebrated by breaking out the baby backpack and going to the farmer's market.  There are several open air markets throughout the week in Strasbourg.  Our favorite is on Saturdays.  The vendors actually grow or make their own wares, as opposed to buying them and reselling them.  The stalls are a little scarce in February, relying on root vegetables, meat, cheese, and canned produce.  Even though the choices aren't as abundant as the rest of the year it is still a nice place to get delicious fresh food and take in interesting sights. 



On our way to the market we noticed some daffodils that have started to bloom. 


One good thing about winter is that you can sit or even dance in a fountain without having to take your shoes off.
