Markets

The same square that has the statue of the Grimm brothers is the place of the outdoor market. These markets are very popular in Europe and there are some good buys and some very interesting people and things to see.

 

The people will set up their little stalls in long rows and you can walk along and see the things to buy.

They are usually farmers who have brought their food to sell. The day Heinrich was there it was raining and most of the stalls had canopies or tents over them.

Besides fruits and vegetables most of the markets also have flower stands. The plants are always beautiful and people use the flowers as decorations in their homes and at their tables.

Heinrich bought some asparagus and apples. The asparagus is white which is very popular. It turns white because the farmers cover it while it grows so the sun doesn't shine it . That way it doesn't turn green. He was a little nervous about the apples. After all this was the Fairy Tale road and you know about Poison apples don't you?
