Market Outside My Window - 21.1. 2010

Woken up after the first nights sleep about 7:30am on a Thursday morning by the voices of vendors talking and setting up their stands. As I peer out the window to the piazza I see an array of colored umbrellas and vans with tables out front full of all kinds of items from shoes to food. I walked through it on my way to the Centro Studi observing what there was to buy, the interactions between the buyers and sellers trying to make sense of the language. The rest of the day as I sit in orientation I think of what I saw and what it will be like for the first time for me to go and buy something at the market.
