Local Greens

Living on the mountain is fabulous except for the fact that there is only one grocery store, and it isn't that well stocked (and quite expensive).  I had heard there is a morning market nearby, so I asked a local women (we were paired up with a local family through our teacher's connections) if she would take me. It was great to have her introduce me to the vendors and tell them I was her friend and to give me a good price.  These greens are the tops of sweet potatoes that grow on this mountain.  We had tried the sweet potatoes before, and the kids loved them.  These were quite good, too.  I think the market will be a regular stop for us.  It is only 3 bus stops away and near a hot spring and park.
