Markets Are Alive

When last have you been to the market? not the supermarket or a mega-market; I'm talking about those weekly or daily farmers' markets where everything is fresh, sometimes alive, in variety and abundance.
In this week's column, I discuss my market-trips as a youngster.
Below are some recent market scenes. For more, view the album on the right.
