    We don't have stands along the road here. It's too hot. There is a farmer's market on Wednesday and Saturday. I bought some white eggplants on Wednesday. They are a little pricey here mainly because of the water it takes to grow them. dooley

    That is very nice Sjoerd. I love the quaint country village feel about the stands and the fact you don't see any vendors. Is it all on the 'honor' system?
    That wouldn't work for a minute in the city. Like Toni said, that is one of the things I missed living in the big city. But now, I am in the country, almost. Pop. 32,000 compared to 3,000,000 (not sure of the pop. since I haven't lived in Dallas in 9 years) in Dallas.

    So Dallas county holds about half of the total population in all of Norway. :D Numbers really put things in perspective!
