Campo dei Fiori

Today I was standing next to an orange tree and an orange fell down right at my feet. I am eating it now. It made me remember that I hadn't posted pictures from the lovely outdoor food market at Campo dei Fiori, where oranges and other delicious things practically do fall at one's feet.

This is me, getting really excited about lemons.


Carciofi (artichokes) are a really popular food here, especially the local carciofi alla Romana.



I polished off a couple hundred grams of the green olives in the front in record time yesterday.



Though the food market closes up around 3pm, flowers are sold all day. They are gorgeous!
I go to Campo almost every day because it is near work, and it is always lively, day and night.
