A jollified walk to the marketplace.

The scorching sun on my skin could have ruined my day, but it didn't because I was able to not only feast my eyes but also get something special for myself.

Waking up today, I had one major goal, which was going to the market to get foodstuff. Being in a new place, there's the need for food, so after planning three days ago, I was able to fix today for going out.

I didn't leave home till around 12 noon because I had some things to attend to online. After that, I cooked, ate, took my bath, and wore a pair of trousers and top which would enable free movement as I took a walk to the marketplace.

The marketplace was exactly how I imagined it to be... a very busy arena where even the legs struggled to move freely as the road was narrow and packed. In that sort of place, I found my petite self walking through the crowd with my eyes sharp, looking around to get the things on my list.

I was able to take a good shot of part of the market while I was getting detergent while my eyes scout ahead, searching for the next thing on the list.

It wasn't easy, but I did enjoy shopping for things, haggling prices, and even getting to check out other places. The sun, however, was the only thing that almost left me with a sad look until I laid my eyes on the beauty ahead of me.

It wasn't in the plan, but it was something I couldn't just pass by because I do really love it.

Yeah, snails. Hehe.

After catfish, it is the next on the list of seafood I enjoyed eating. Since I grew up not too far from the sea, I consumed a lot of these foods but moving away after some years of not being able to see them much around my location have made me crave them a lot.

So, maybe you can imagine the sort of smile on my face as I saw it from afar. I was so happy that I just walked up to the woman selling and spoke to her. In my mind, I was already imagining the sauce that would fit it.

I got a little(but not so little shhh😆😆)because it wasn't planned for but promised myself I would visit the market again... maybe next week to get more.

After that, my mood became jolly as I got other things on the list and left the market for home. The walk to the market became an interesting one all of a sudden as my mind was filled with cooking, which I did the moment I got home.

Thanks for reading.

Peace be unto those who crave it and more to those who chase it away.
