A trip to the market

One of the places I love to visit here in Brazil is the open market. They are held in various locations throughout the city during the week, and are full of jewelry, crafts, flee market items and great food. We love the fried pastries filled with meat and cheeses that are a traditional part of the market.

This past weekend I took Sandy and Farrel to the market (for their third time) so they could buy some last minute souvenirs, and for me, some things for my upcoming taste of Brazil giveaway.

It was also a great place for me to practice my Portuguese as I translated for my in-laws and talked to the vendors.
