All over Warsaw there are vendors set up on sidewalks, selling anything from shoelaces, to used books, to fruits and vegetables (one old man selling a few desperate pieces of junk wasn't even wearing pants when we jogged by him last week). The produce is almost exclusively local and fresh (I do see the occasional bunch of Dole bananas for sale) and unbelievably inexpensive. For example, the raspberries in the forefront of the lower picture, cost less than $2 for four cups of giant berries!
But remember to bring lots of small change when shopping at the outdoor markets because the Poles hate to make change. They will wait patiently while I count out a handful of groszy coins and sigh impatiently if I hand them a single paper bill. But it's worth it because as I type this, I am pleasantly stuffed with blueberries and raspberries. I love July in Poland!

Love these Warsaw life posts + pics
bless you for writing a comment! As you have expressed, sometimes I feel like I'm blogging for just me and my faithful reader mother!
Here is your faithful reader again!
The produce display looked beautiful in color. Continue blogging local pictures. I enjoy seeing what you see locally.

I just realized that when I post a comment my picture displays as well and I see yours two. Have I not been paying attention or is this something new?
Oooooppppps! I just read my comment and the word "two" should have read too.

At least you have lots of comments!
I'll take two bags of rasberries and four of blueberries!! Have I hit $10 bucks yet!!
Looks yummy, much better than the 2 raspberries that have come out of our garden this year!
