Wir haben Erdbeeren gepflückt!!

What? English translation, you say? We picked strawberries! Saturday afternoon, we needed to get groceries and on our list was assorted fruit. The strawberries at the store are imported, but there are strawberry fields everywhere. While we waited at a nearby farmer's stand, our American neighbors walked in, fresh from picking their own strawberries. They told us of the spot and we hurried over to do the same.

After about 10 minutes, we filled our baskets, had them weighed (1.63 kilos, yep 3 lbs!!!) and paid (3.26 euros), and we were headed home with our fresh strawberries!!!

(about half the strawberries and cherries)

Saturday afternoon, we ate freely from our strawberries, some cherries we bought at the stand, fresh bread from down the street and olive oil from Mallorca. Heaven has to be similar!

As of today, Monday afternoon, we are out of strawberries. Yes, that is correct... we ate 3 lbs of strawberries in 3 days! And loved every last one!!!
