Today I made my way to the market. I spent about 2 hours in there looking at all the different types of food and trying to decipher what everything was. I don’t know how anyone can spend that much time browsing in a grocery store, but I did and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I came out with only one super large bag……but it was really heavy. I had to lug it about 5 blocks to get back to my apartment and then up 6 flights of stairs/90 steps. I won’t do that again. What I learned today is that it is better to only buy exactly what you need for that day or the next. Besides there isn’t much storage space in Italian apartments to store lots of food staples.
This sounds like a broken record, but I am still jet lagged. On top of that I think I am coming down with the flu. My bones ache and my head and chest are stuffed up. I will persevere!
