Saturday: to market

Saturday we got up and walked down to the Central Market on Metalurg Street. It's probably the biggest outdoor market here in Mariupol. Lots of people, lots of vendor, lots of fun to be had!

Here are a few pictures from our walk.

Apparently airlines are different here, because I've NEVER seen a flight attended like this one!

We thought this little car was really cool!

And Zack really likes this Lada SUV....

At the market, we intended to buy some produce - and we did (eggplant, cherries, bananas, apples, and garlic). But the majority of what filled our bag was Bricks - the knock-off Legos we can buy so cheaply here.

In addition to toys, food, and clothes, there was also an aisle for birds, fish and reptiles. You can buy pretty much anything here!

On the way back, we stopped at McPizza & Chicken for some lunch. We've seen this place several times and figured it was worth a try.

We ordered chicken fingers and french fries. They looked good.

And they WERE good!

After we got back, William spent most of the afternoon working on one of the large Bricks sets he bought. This set cost less than $10. Can't imagine what a Lego set this size would run us.

We had a yummy dinner Saturday night.

I created a baked eggplant dish that turned out really well (so long as you don't ask William his opinion on it)...

We also had a little pasta, some potatoes, and some homemade bruchetta. I know, lots of starches. I don't care - it was GOOD!
