Each Saturday the "Feira" comes to a large parking lot a few blocks from the MTC here in the neighborhood. It's an open air market where vendors come to set up their stands. In addition to fruits and vegetables, there are stands that sell meats, handmade articles of clothing and jewelry. We have been there a few times just to look around and buy a few items. We really don't need to buy any food because everything we need to eat is provided for us in the cafeteria. But it's fun to look around.

We normally take a half a day on Friday and half a day on Saturday as our P-Day. The half day Friday morning is usually the time to go to places of interest such as museums, the flower market, historic sites, etc. The half day on Saturday is used for cleaning, shopping, and washing clothes. It wouldn't be hard keep busy during these 2 half days, but we have to remember that we need to keep things clean and we need to have a little break from the routine of the work at the MTC. Now that we have found a way to download our pictures, we'll being sending more of them. Ate mais (Catch you later)
