Visit to the city Market

19 July - Visited the Kaiserslautern Market. Jamie had a good time with her dictionary that Petra gave her as a gift. Jamie was walking around the market, looking at pictures in the dictionary and learning new words. Jamie tried some olives and bought some. We got a bratwurst (sausage) and some strawberries (erdberren).

The market is like a farmer's market in the states but with some extras. flowers (blumen), eggs (eir), meat (fleisch), fish (fiche), spices (gewuerze), cheese (kase), bread (brot), etc.

Europeans generally shop daily for what they need for the day or the next day unlike Americans who buy for the week or month. Europeans have very small refrigerators. It is a different lifestyle.

This is a Karfoffel Stand. Jamie is having a family reunion with her fellow Taters!!
