It looks like , the travelling merchants and the local farmers are establishing a new market everyday of the week in a different village, in our little peninsula. They are always a great place to meet with locals and shop for your necessities. As there are no big stores in villages, it is possible to find almost anything. Here is a one, we stopped last week..
Waiting for customers is easier with a game of backgammon..
and who can resist to listen some gossip..

Interesting pics. Somehow life is going on there without Walmart. I'm amazed at the variety of merchandise and the social interaction.

Babushkas and plastic seem an odd juxtaposition to me, probably because I haven't traveled in this part of the world. Everyone looks like they're enjoying themselves.
