Saturday's market

Sempre que acordo cedo ao sábado (o que não posso dizer que seja muito frequente), gosto de ir com a minha mãe ao mercado (ou, como ela diz, à praça). Gosto do cheiro a peixe, de ouvir as peixeiras a chamar a clientela, de ver os vendedores a arranjar a couve para o caldo-verde, de comprar fruta e legumes que não parecem feitos de plástico.

Whenever I wake up early at a saturday (it doesn't happen that often), I like to go to the market with my mother. I like the smell of fish, to hear the fishmongers calling the customers, to see some sellers cutting a cabbage we use for a very traditional soup (they roll the cabbage leaves and then cut the thinnest slices ever), to buy fruit and vegetables that don't look like they're made of plastic.
