Market Friday goes Dutch
Today is #MarketFriday initiated by @dswigle (Denise, that's me!!)
I hope you will join me as we share different markets across the globe. Every week, I look forward to seeing what you will send me and I am always happy to see so many from all over the world. Who doesn't love to see what they will be selling in my beloved German markets, or shopping in places I have never been to and some, never even heard of. There is always a curiosity attached to foreign ingredients, different produce or any product sold. So, yes! I would love to see yours! Don't forget to take photos wherever you happen to be shopping - whether it be the grocery, art galleries, wherever money is exchanged for a service or for merchandise. Don't forget to use the hashtag #MarketFriday and @dswigle.
Please leave the link to your post on here so it can easily be found by others. They will all be in one place. Where else can you take such a quick trip around the globe? Thank you! ❤
Well, my sister Tina and I are still cruising, but I wanted to bring #MarketFriday to you today. So sit back, relax and enjoy this wonderful Market from Willemstad, Curacao. Actually, it is-a-few different ones throughout the city.
Curacao is such a beautiful little Island and Willemstad is the capital. The city streets are lined with incredible Dutch Colonial architecture.
A short walk from the pier and we come across our first market. It has many trinkets straight from the Motherland. That would be Holland. There are wonderful hand carved houses, painted the colors of the town... all sorts of wonderful things. Let's take a walkabout.
The vendors were all very nice and when I asked if I could take pictures all very happy to oblige me. It makes it so much easier than sneaking around trying to take pictures of everything. There are so many things that I saw I'm taking home with me easily. The one thing that I did forget was 95% of the pictures were taken with my camera but not this phone. Sometimes I have to take what I can get when I am on vacation.
A stroll through this Market is a memorable experience. The port is a perfect place for Market with its bustling foot traffic.
My camera holds a picture of a huge cheese wheel and a pair of giant wooden shoes. you'll just have to hold those to your imagination until I can post the picture. Yes PS I did buy cheese. Who could resist?
Pucker up baby! I'm coming in for one. Happy Market Friday to you! ♥
He didn't even flinch. Maybe I should have tried it in Dutch.
We went to a distillery and tasted some delightful liquors. There was a chocolate one that I was just in love with. Have you ever tasted heaven? Yes. That would be it.
These are just some of the different liqueurs. I can't decide which one I love best and I couldn't afford to buy one of each. Let's just say that I gave them all a fair taste test.
They get an A+ from me.
Let's watch as they found it and pack it up to be exported.
A beautiful place. A beautiful time. With beautiful people.

A beautiful post! It almost felt like I could taste the chocolate liqueur myself! :D Looks like you’re really enoying your holiday, Denise!
Thanks. Oleg! I am really enjoying this holiday and many great moments. I really did like the chocolate liquor and made a point of purchasing some as we don't carry this in the US.
I should be home by next week. ;)

Oh, what a lovely little tour! You look so relaxed in that pic, the cruise seems to be suiting you just beautifully!
I had a fun little market adventure this week myself, although not nearly as glamorous as yours!

Hello, beatiful! I know I cannot believe that I am on vacation all over again. It is beautiful and it is warm and the sun is shining every single day. I wish you were here with me.
There would be so much fun to be had. And then we would drink wine and sing songs. It would be glorious.

It is an absolutely fabulous place especially with the view of the many-colored architectural structures that have. I love their colonial architecture and there was so much left intact from yesteryear.

I missed #FridayMarket this week. And I'm very sad. 😓
But I'm happy seeing you enjoying your vacation. I love the colored architectural designs of the buildings in Curaçao! It's like a painting, not a picture!!!
Enjoy, enjoy for the rest of your vacation! 😊😀
Oh, thank you! You are so sweet! Do not worry! Market Friday comes every week!
I do love the architecture in Curacao! It is so beautiful and I am having such a wonderful time! Thank you for taking the time to stop by!

What a perfect location for an outside market! And so many things to look at and buy or resist buying. I always have a hard time shopping when on vacation because I want to buy everything.
I have to say, you look pretty cute in that butterfly dress. :D
I managed to get a #marketfriday up today too: https://steemit.com/marketfriday/@debralee/marketfriday-at-cabela-s
Aww!! Thank you so much, Deb! I have so much fun at these markets! I really do. They are the best! I have a hard time shopping though, everything is so amazing, but, I have stopped buying things I will never use, and take some pictures instead.
Many times I almost talk myself into buying and at the last minute, I remember that I do not need another thing in the house.
My butterfly dress is fun. Thank you!
