Farmer's Market

So I went to the Farmer's Market today... again. It's becoming a little weekend ritual of sorts. The nice weather the past couple of weeks has made it easy to enjoy the outdoor shopping. It's great for getting fresh produce and they've got yummy cheeses, pesto, and falafels!! Not to mention the fresh lemonade. Now where else would you get a combo of items like that???

I never had a falafel before last weekend but there's a man who has a little tent there and he sells these amazing wraps for 5 euro. He's also the man who had the lemonade. SO yummy. There's another guy who sells really good pesto. He's got about 3 different kinds and it's great on just about everything. He's also got all sorts of jams, sauces, chutney, etc. There's a woman who sells jewelry, a man with a fish truck, one tent has plants, another cheeses (great tomato and basil & chili, like pepperjack). This is what the set up looks like:

On my way back I decided to stop at a new store. It's not really new to Arklow, but new to me. They've got the craziest shoes mixed in with some more traditional styles. I picked up a new leather bag and new pair of kitten-heeled shoes. They're both dark brown leather and SO cute. I only spent 50 euro between the two and saved over 150 euro off the original prices. Two new pairs of shoes in two weekends. I need to stay out of stores that sell shoes!

No big plans for this weekend. I'm thinking I'll take it easy and try to be in good shape for my match tomorrow. Soccer this weekend. We're in the cup tournament, which means we can win the league. How that happened, I'm not quite sure. We haven't won a game all season. I've been told we're still 3rd from the bottom. I'm hoping the nice weather holds up through then.

One week from now and I'll be cooking dinner (or maybe taking them out) for Crystal and Kara! Yeah!!! Can't wait. It's almost good they aren't coming until Saturday. I didn't realize that EVERYthing is closed for Good Friday. Including the pubs. Christmas and Good Friday are the only two days that happens. Crazy. Monday is also a bank holiday, which means that Sunday will not disappoint. It sounds like my Gaelic team is already planning on being out in full force and Geraldines + alcohol = definite fun.

Hope you all have a fun weekend, whether you're out partying or at home relaxing. I'll catch up with you early next week!! ;-)
