Hello, friends, and community greetings. After a small pause, I am posting my 10-minute Wednesday walk from my clinic. I had just one client scheduled and was a little early for work. The sky was cloudy with a little rain. In the summer Wednesday is market day here in town. The last two Wednesday markets were flops because of heavy rain. When I left home I thought today may also turn out to be the same. But after I finished my client when I came out I saw the sky was clear the sun shining and people were enjoying the street market. The distance between my house to work is very short around 300 meters Normally I need about 3 minutes to get home. the street I take happens to cross the tiny town center where the market is so today I took a much longer round checking out what was for sale which I am sharing with my fellow hivers.

This shop is very popular this lady comes a long way to sell her handmade alpaca wool products, and many people buy these as Christmas gifts or whatever.
Young people like to buy these T-shirts. I have only seen these sellers this year in a big group. They are not Norwegians. they are separated into three places with their tents. Their prices are quite lower than what the Norwegian shop has. Norwegians think the prices of T-shirts are very reasonable.
Here can buy old and unique books that are not available in the bookshops. this shop is also present every year.
Many sellers with their sewing, knitting ceramics and art.
Thai food is popular here.
Jewelry
As our town is located on the sea many people have cabins and boats nearby. One lady is selling maritime decorations, some ceramics, and kitchen towels. She designs and makes them herself.
This famous restaurant in the center is packed in the summer. A few years ago my friend who is the owner asked me to help in the kitchen. I learned a lot there but it was stressful and hectic with so many customers.
This is a very old and very popular hotel where tourists like to stay during their holidays.
