Faces at the Market

This blog entry will feature some of the people we see at the market every Saturday morning.

Thanks to Sue Ross, our roommate, who took many of the pictures and agreed to share them with us.

This is who everyone in the house calls Norm's grapefruit lady. We call her ''Miss Emilia''. When Norm first met her, she would never speak. She would simply hold up four fingers when asked how much for a mound of grapefruit. Now, she smiles every time she sees us and even keeps the best grapefruit aside for Norm. We gave her a copy of this photo that Sue printed up for us. It brought tears to her eyes.

Many of the vendors bring their kids along on market day. There are alot of cuties like this little girl.

It's not unusual to see women walking around in bright colored curlers. Sometimes, they have matching flip flops.

Mmm. Don't think I want to buy his produce.

This is one of Carl's so called girlfriends. (Carl is another one of our roomates. He's Sue's husband.) There are several women at the market that he's friendly with.

This is one of the more vocal women at the market. She loves to debate the issues of the day. She always has a strong opinion and everyone at the market is sure to hear what she has to say. She sells good quality baskets and placemats, etc... and it's very difficult to get her to lower her prices.

Rasta Man.

Not a face but interesting anyway. These are brooms that are sold at the market.
