It’s just across the border and loaded with fresh fruits and veggies. But, while there is a bus that goes there, it’s easiest to drive. And we only have a rental car about once every few months.

So we make do with our local farmer’s market at Plainpalais, which is about two minutes outside our front door.

This morning, we stocked up on fruits, veggies, some sausage, a fresh roasted chicken and some crepes.

Feeling fairly proud of ourselves, we walked home, adding up our totals as we lugged the bags.

Umm, we spent $100.

Oops.

Apparently, the watermelon, strawberries and avocados add up pretty quick.

We miss you, Thoiry.
