50 Tulips for 10 Euros
On Sunday mornings, there are markets in Wiener and Flagey. We live in between these two neighborhoods, but both are just a couple tram stops away. Wiener was a huge market, but I think we may have just caught the tail-end of the Flagey market. Still, these were probably my favorite surprise of Brussels so far.

The markets had all kinds of fresh foods (cheese, bread, meat, fish, spices, fruits, veggies), and some prepared foods (quiches, thai, greek, and sweets). And there were some booths selling clothing, toys, and flowers too.
Greek Food Booth
Though our air shipment had a couple of plates and bowls, we’re still working with a really limited kitchen, so it was nice to pick up something more than the basic pasta we’ve been eating from the grocery store. We got a roast chicken, some chicken cordon bleu, some tomato bread, a quiche, and a couple of oranges.
Fresh Bread Booth
I may not buy food here every weekend, but it was fun to just walk around and look. On another note, my Nikon D50 seems to be working again. I took these photos with my Panasonic Lumix FS3, but I’ve missed my SLR. More market photos are on Flickr:

Wow…those tulips are gorgeous and the breads are delicious looking.
I don’t know if it means anything, but my Nikon has a problem working at high altitudes and really cold temps. Then it will adjust and work fine for me. Got me as to why.

Yum!
Oh boy! I wish (a) it was warm enough for me to want to do anything outside right now and (b) that I lived near such great markets. That is one of the best things about life in Europe I think…so many great markets!

Everything looks so beautiful! I’d want to get one of everything too. How nice to have everything so reasonably close by. Speaking of baguettes, have you seen this:

Now, that’s what I call a real market….haven’t seen one of those in a long time.
I cannot believe the 50 Tulips for 10 Euros! My Hubby’s favorite flowers are tulips. We would SO be buying a bunch!
