Daily Sights on the way to the store

Lately, we have been coming up with a running list of "little" things we look forward to once we are back in the USA, things that wouldn't rate on any important scale, but little insignificant things.  For example, expectation of toilet paper in the toilet stalls, tall glasses filled with ice (tea) that keep getting refills at a restaruant, no one staring at you, not having to climb 7 flights of stairs every time you come home.  The little things.  One of the bigger things is our excitement over grocery stores.....cereal aisles, meat wrapped in nice little packages, cheese, options, nice smells while buying food. 

Today, as I walked to the market for a few things, then on to the bakery for bread, then a little farther to another store for some other items, I thought about how completely different my shopping trips will be in just a few weeks.  These are some of the sights I saw today as I walked through town with the kids.  I likely won't be seeing these on my way to Wal-Mart.

The unloading of the watermelon truck.  I wish I had a picture of the hundreds of watermelons sitting on the side of the road already.

 The random lady on the street selling and shucking corn in the miserable heat.

 I won't be passing a lady on her bike coming home from her shopping run with her makeshift umbrella shading her from the sun.

 And....thankfully, I will not see this, our one stoplight in town, which is more of a suggestion than anything else, because traffic always looks like this no matter red, green, or yellow.
