Sept 17 - Lendplatz Farmers' Market!

Haven’t posted for a few days, so I’m making my best effort to catch up!
By the way, just wanted to let you know that my roommate A will be referred to as “Tiny” from now on. The letters are getting confusing, and she calls herself Tiny in her own blog. If you haven’t checked hers out yet, please do! You can find it at http://tinyandteddyseetheworld.blogspot.com.
Any potential Graz travellers should be warned – Saturdays are not for sleeping in until noon! If you wake up at a reasonable time, you have the chance to walk down to the Lendplatz square to visit…THE FARMERS' MARKET!!!! All kinds of fresh fruit, vegetables, meat, and baked goods from local farmers. I went for the first time this Saturday, and was able to buy lots of apples and plums, a huge loaf of braided raisin bread, and a lindenberry sweetbread dessert for just over 10 Euros. The fruit is fantastic. I didn’t have the courage to try to buy any meat there yet (asking for specific cuts is a bit beyond me at this point), but they have a lot of variety from what I saw. I’m not sure how much longer it will last before the winter, but hopefully we’ll get a few more weeks to visit it. I will be going tomorrow, so hopefully I can take a few shots to post. :-)
