Day One (Sunday)
Woke up on Oct 27th at about 9am. Hungry. We walked down the street, around the corner, and there was a market.


On the map, the house is right where the accent on the C is on the big word Volovcica. We bought jaja [yaya] (eggs) and bacon (which they call hamburger for some reason) and sok od višnja [soak ode veeshnya] (cherry juice). This market is like our open air swap meets. It was kind of like a corner strip mall, called Volovcica Trg [Vole-ohv-cheetsa Terg] (Volovcica Square) The grocery store, butcher, bakery, restaurants, tabak [tah-bok] (tabacco) and liquor stores as well as little dollar-type stores and magazine stand formed the strip mall, and the market was in the middle. Parking was along the street if you had a car (most don't). Many of the vendors in the market sell flowers. Of every shape and color. Most I had never seen before. I was sniffing some at this old lady's stall, and Ivan said something to her. She smiled and got a bunch of flowers, like 4 each of 5 different kinds, and bundled them up in butcher paper. She handed them to me, smiling and Ivan paid her what amounts to about 2 bucks.
