When we lived in Orlando, one of my favorite things to do on Saturday morning was to go over the Winter Park Farmers' Market. I guess it all started in college when I could walk over from Rollins before most of the campus was even awake. I love to walk around and see all of the plants and fresh fruits and veggies. We would usually end up picking up some coffee and breakfast (chocolate croissant for me and a crepe with chicken, veggies and sauce for Rodney). 
If you live in Orlando and haven't checked out the Winter Park Farmers' Market, you definitely should!Well, this Saturday morning we went to the Salerno version of the farmers' market. Unlike the market in Winter Park, this market is every morning, not just on Saturday. As we walked along the rows of vendors, we couldn't help but notice the similarities and the many differences.
Overall, I have to say that the fresh produce here is much better than anything I've seen in America. When you walk by the mounds of peaches, you can't ignore the amazing smell. Below are some pictures of the market. As you will see, in addition to the produce there are also many other items for sale including clothing, shoes, candy, pots and pans, laundry detergent, rugs and curtains, just to name a few. There is also a whole row full of fish and other seafood items. We haven't been brave enough to try any of the seafood yet, but I'm sure it's nice and fresh.
Yes, this man is using his bare hands, don't be alarmed...
Now that's some fresh sword fish!
This is just a short clip from the market. We just didn't want you to miss out on the sounds of the market, as well as the sights.

Love it! Thanks for giving us a peak into the culture :)
Nancy and I went to that market! We loved it. Thanks for the walk down memory lane. Thinking of you and the team and your great work for King Jesus in Salerno.
The sights and sounds of the market were sweet. Thank you for sharing the video clip!
I don't know that I ever went to that market, but I remember other places with fresh produce and I thought even then that theirs (Italy) was better than anything I'd seen or tasted in the states. Strawberries and tomatoes come to mind.
Love you guys, thanks for the post!
I now want to go to the WP Farmer's Market. Thanks for posting a video! That was great!
