We are very fortunate to live close to a WM... We find ourselves walking there daily for a few local goodies and honestly, the exercise is a welcomed release from apartment living. Many of you may remember the days of the Mid-South Fair and the outdoor grilling (sausages, onions, and bell peppers)? Well, that is exactly what it smells like around 6pm everyday.
The sight of people relaxing and talking with neighbors in the cool of the evening, after a sweltering day, marries well with the smells of the street vendors cooking fresh grilled veggies and sausages... It is almost like a nightly festival celebrating community and common sense...
Children roller blade, while parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, and friends share in experience of a nightly carnival.
Love seeing such a different place and the way of life there! I hope you all are doing well! Been thinking about you guys! Much love!
ReplyDeleteHey... thanks for following along... as much as it is different here, it is oddly the same.
ReplyDeleteKids cry for toys and candy in Wal-Mart (while frustrated parents give them the "wait until I get you home look")...
Stay oun touch...
Oh the glorious occasion of finding the local waly world. I still remember when my students took me to mine, and finding the local KFC.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely don't miss the smell of those street vendor's stinky tofu...lol
