Saturday, July 2

We get up and go to the market. Since the weather continues as though Pellinki had moved to the Mediterranean, and since this constitutes the first of two Pellinge Days, crowds have arrived, and Benita’s does not even have standing room left.

Two girls begin to entertain the crowds at the market by singing very nicely to backing tracks. We have no idea if we should know them from television or local connections, but we don’t.

Hidden behind them we find Ritva, who has got moved from her usual stall. We load up on salmon pies, homemade cakes, and biscuits.

Later we will top up our water supply.
