Market Day!

One of the things I like most in Brussels are the open air markets. We have one a block from our house every Wednesday from 2-8pm. I absolutely love wandering through there, buying bread, quiche and most importantly, my fresh flowers. Every week I treat myself to 5 euros worth of roses or tulips or gerber daisies. They will usually last about a week and they make me smile every time I see them. It is a wonderful simple pleasure. Below is a picture of the flowers I just bought for two friends. The florists here always wrap the flowers up in colorful paper that make such a beautiful presentation. Each of these bouquets were only 7 euros!
