Marked / Market

I udlandet er det altid sjovt at gå ind i supermarkeder og se, hvilke eksotiske ting de har på hylderne. Denne gang har jeg så også været på marked! Først på det kæmpestore Eastern Market i Detroit. Det er VIRKELIG stort! Der er både en del haller og en del udendørs boder. Samt diverse butikker rundt omkring.

When going abroad it's always fun checking out the supermarkets to see what exotic stuff they sell.
This time, I've even been to the Farmer's market! First the gigantic Eastern Market in Detroit. It is HUGE! They have some very big inside areas but also a lot of stalls outside. Not to mention the shops in the area around.

Der var blomster. Både som buketter og til at plante hjemme!

There were flowers. Both for bouquets and for planting at home!

Der var gigantiske grøntsager - især tomater og løg var helt vildt store. Jeg købte blå kartofler (virkelig eksotisk!), og var faktisk lidt skuffet da de smagte af - - - - kartofler. Bare.

They had gigantic vegetables - especially the tomatoes and onions were amazingly huge. I bought blue potatoes (very exotic!) and was a bit disappointed when they tasted like - - - potatoes. Nothing else.

I går tog vi på Farmers Market her i Ann Arbor. Så jeg kunne få lov at se Amish folk. DET synes jeg også er helt vildt eksotisk! De sælger som regel økologiske ting, og i supermarkedet står der ofte "Amish" på æggene som kvalitetsnavn - så ved man ligesom det er økologisk.
Vi skulle iøvrigt ind til byen for at sejle i baderinge på floden.
Men ak. De lejede ikke baderinge ud den dag! Det så ellers helt vildt sjovt ud. Der var mange med egne baderinge.

Yesterday, we went to the Farmers Market here in Ann Arbor. So that I could see Amish people. THAT is very exotic in my opinion! Most often, they sell organic things, and in the supermarket, the eggs say "Amish" to show they are organic.
We were also going to town in order to float on tubes down the river.
But alas. They didn't rent out tubes that day! It did look fun, though. A lot of people brought their own tubes.

Vi gik tilbage til byen for at få frokost og fandt så et sted med billige baderinge! Desværre begyndte det at regne da vi havde pustet den første op, så det var kun niecen som fik en enkelt tur.
Heldigvis kunne de også bruges i poolen, og min nevø blev helt god til at komme op i den ude på vandet.

We walked back to the city to get some lunch and found a place with cheap tubes! Unfortunately, it started raining after we inflated the first one, so it was only my niece getting one ride.
Fortunately, we could use them in the pool as well, and my nephew really learned to climb it in the middle of the water.

I går aftes var min sidste aften herovre. Vi gik ud og spiste is. Den "stakkels" hund (der fik sit eget isbæger!) ventede udenfor døren, men kunne sende sørgmodige blikke ind i butikken.
Sjældent har man mødt en hund der er så sulten! Han er altid klar på lidt lækkert. Han ELSKER min mindste nevø og finder sig i absolut alt. Formentlig fordi han er den person i husstanden der giver ham flest godbidder.

Last night was my final evening here. We went to have ice cream. The "poor" dog (who got his own cup of ice cream!) waited outside the door, but could look sadly through the door for his humans.
I've never met a dog this hungry!  He is always ready to have a bite. He LOVES my youngest nephew and let him do absolutely (almost) everything. Possibly because he is the one person giving most treats in this house.

Jeg fik også lige strikket en virkelig fed hue færdig. Den må I se i morgen. Nu skal jeg i gang med den sidste dag inden flyet venter i aften. Dagen er startet godt. Med hund under sengen. Den søde hund.....

I also finished a really cool, knitted hat. You'll see it tomorrow. Now I'll get the last day up and running before the plane awaits tonight. The day started well so far. With the dog under the bed. The cute dog.....
