Il Mercato

One of the things that we are both looking forward to about moving to Italy is the food! Italy has so much great, fresh food that it will be nice to go to il mercato instead of Harris Teeter to buy our groceries (not to mention cheaper as well!).

Siena's weekly market day is Wednesday. In anticipation, Reed purchased a special backpack for Oliver for his birthday so that he can go with us, and more importantly help carry all the food!

Look how handsome he is!

Coincidentally, the backpack is the perfect size to carry wine bottles...........

Of course, for all his hard work, Oliver will be eating very well too! He looks forward to enjoying the variety of cheeses (his favorite food after Salmon) available in Italy!

Oliver loves wearing the backpack! We think that he thinks he is very important when he wears it!

Oliver is definitely going to be the most stylin' cane in Siena. He does look awfully proud with it on :)

Glad you guys like the backpack! I think it is great. He is having a little anxiety about the impending move-he just destroyed two new pairs of pants I bought (he is 6!)

That is probably one of the things i miss the most of Italia... FreshFreshFresh food...less preservatives, steroids, hormones... healthier life style is easier...

Ci vediamo
