Old city

On Friday ayden and i went down to the old city on Friday. One of my favorite places to go in the city. I love to look in all the shops and just walk around and see all the people. We went with 2 other friends and they enjoy it too. Ayden had been wanting a "balto" so we found one for her down there, everything like that is much cheeper in the old city. She doesn't have to wear one, not until she is older, but she wants to dress like the older girls here, so she wore her head scarf and once we found a balto that she liked and that fit and that I could bargin a good price for, she wore that the rest of the time. We didn't really get to talk to anyone, not really a great place to meet and talk to women, but it was just great to be out walking the streets there. It is great too, becuase you can get everything imaginable in one spot. I found three baskets that I liked and so I picked those up for the girls Easter baskets, I got a kilo of cornmeal, some nuts, a little short broom (the kind they use here), and Ayden's balto all right there, then we walked to the middle and picked up some potatoe and egg bread and a water. shopping and dinner all right there! For the potatoe/egg bread, they take a round bread, cut it down the middle, open it up, stuff some boiled potatoes in there and a boiled egg, put some cheese (not cheddar, something that i like but don't really know what it is) and then some seasonings. Pretty filling and it taste pretty good, the only bad part is, we can't sit down in that area where the food is served and eat, becuase it is for the men. They would probably let us sit there because we are foreginers, but it would not be well respected at all, so we ate while we walked and eventually sat on a ledge somewhere and finished up. Well that was our day in the old city. I really think this city and country have so much to offer, it could really be a tourist destination and it has so much history, if it just didn't have all the other problems it would be such a great place.
