Shopping Trip

Just a sample of what we bought today at the Market. Art and I go shopping about every other day. Remember, we don't have a car and we take taxi's everywhere, about 10 dH to get around town is just less then $3 US. We keep finding markets all around the neighborhood, some quite small and others quite large. Food is more expensive here overall...there are a few bargains and the choices are all international When we go to the produce, the signs above the produce show Name of produce and Country of Orgin.. We see almost every African, Indian, and Australian Continents produce being represented. We eat Saudi Potatoes and Thai Fruits and South African Oranges, New Zealand Beef to name a few. We don't eat pork...there is a Non Muslim walled off section of Spinneys market to purchase pork products, but one feels guilty going in there...so we try to respect the culture. We find ourselves starting to say "God Willing" after every sentence when something is to happen in the future.
