Italy is calling: Mercato

See on Scoop.it - Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d’Italia



So when I went for breakfast this morning my hosts told me it was market day in Ascoli. We’re not talking the puny market from the other day, we’re talking the real deal. That’s when I heard angels singing and realized those little boots I had my eyes on were within reach.


Here in Italy the market moves from town to town and Saturday it happens to be in Ascoli which is 20 mins away from the house. So I raced over here right after breakfast so I could get good parking, walked up the hill to the main piazza and there it was. White tents as far as the eye could see, Italian people screaming that they have the best deal and people everywhere..


I made a few good purchases: a beautiful leather bag (with studs) for 20 euros and my beautiful booties (with studs). I am now a full fledged Italian…..I just need to get my greyish legs a little tanned so that I don’t look like a total moron wearing them.
