This past weekend Leicester had International Markets through the
streets of downtown. So after church on Sunday we decided to head
towards the city and see what we could find at the markets. Although it
was cloudy and a bit muggy, the atmosphere was quite festive. There were
hundreds of venders and each came from different countries in Europe
and around the world. Many of them have restaurants in Leicester as
well. It goes to show you how diverse the city of Leicester actually is.
Ryan
and I spent some time walking to each vendor taste testing all they had
to offer. They had food like Italian pastries, Mediterranean olives and
peppers, Turkish delight, and Polish sausages to name a few.
One
of Ryan's requests for dinner when we visit my home in CA is bratwurst.
The kind of Bratwurst you get at the grocery store. Well here at the
International Markets they had Bratwurst on the grill made from real
German hands:) When Ryan saw that he couldn't bare the thought of
turning it down. So we thought we would for-go our packed lunches and
grab a couple tasty Bratwurst.
As
we continued to walk down the street I spotted from a distance a bright
yellow sign that read "Dutch Oliebollen." Now this was something I
couldn't turn down and since Ryan had never tried Oliebollen before we
gave in and ate Oliebollen for desert! Finally our stomachs were
satisfied:)
We
made our way through the rest of the Market and enjoyed all that we
saw! Here are a few pictures. Before we made our way to the markets Ryan
and I stopped at a nearby neighborhood so you'll find some extra
pictures along with our trip to the markets. In this neighborhood we
found two very large, beautiful churches. They were both old and gothic
looking. Hope you find those pictures interesting as well as well as the
market pictures. You'll also see all the fun fall leaves on the trees!
The colors are really starting to change here and its beautiful!!!
Enjoy!
