Woke up at 6:30 am
Left house at 7:15 am
Arrived at Piazza del Mercato Centrale around 8:00 am
It was fairly quiet and beautiful with hanging garlic, green leafy bunches, and a whole lamb waiting to be sliced with its blooming core.
I bought apples for 60 cents
Prosciutto and parmesan for around 7 euros
4 peaches for 1 euro
A melon for 2 euros
chocolate croissant and espresso for 1.70 euros
I felt revived, excited and just plain happy. To be up early, in a different surrounding, trying to piece together basic Italian words just made my 4 hours of sleep worth it. I think when at home it is hard to think of things as "worth it."
Fortunately, even just for this month, I will be determined to make it all worth it.
I enjoy your writing. Are you able to post photos on the blog?
