Day 6:

I ventured out to the little corner grocery store at the bottom of our hill.  Generally it is quite busy on a Sunday morning as closes at noon.  There were very few cars in the lot and the shops automatic doors were set to only open from the inside so as to let only two customers in at one time.  Across the street the military police (in masks) had stopped at man who decided that this was a good time to take his fiat to the car wash.  (No lines you know).  That will turn out to be one expensive cleaning.  A 260 euro fine and lawyers fees for your nice court date.  Oops.
empty market - note the cashiers mask

When I got home GP was on the terrace holding a giant salmon.  Our neighbor Eric, (on the other side), picked it up at the wholesale market for a measly 3 bucks a pound!  The fish markets are closed or selling very little so the wholesalers have a surplus.  GP cut the fish into steaks and we split it.  We have enough for 6 or 7 nice dindins.
