One thing I love about living in Europe is the endless variety of markets scheduled every weekend. Flea markets are definitely my favorite variety, but I also enjoy visiting the many farmer’s markets that take place throughout the week.

Every Sunday, there is a small market selling fresh produce, cheese, eggs, herbs, and gorgeous flowers right across the street from my new home. Visiting this market has become a ritual that I look forward to every weekend, as I purchase seasonal produce, breads, cheeses, and a bundle of colorful flowers that brighten up my home all week long.

Since moving to Europe, I have come to appreciate taking pleasure in the simpler things in life, and that is exactly what I do when I stroll through this small market every Sunday.
