After class, I went to the farmer's market! I thought it was a cute, little row of items to purchase (even thought I didn't get anything). As I got to the end of the market, I heard someone singing & playing a guitar. When I got closer, I noticed that people were just dancing in the streets and I thought it was so interesting to see! But the dancing seemed like it specifically went to the song being sung, which I unfortunately do not know the name of. It was nice to see how many people the market brought out. The vendors were nice as well! There were many different smells in the air though. Somehow I do not think the scent of fish, baked goods, flowers, and eggs go together.
It appeared like such a fun part of the culture here and there was no judgement! In a sense, it made me think of the poem, "The Stolen Child", we read today. Not necessarily the meaning of the poem, but the flow of it and how it was smooth. Also the fact that it was mentioned that the Irish children have the poem memorized. The movements of the people seemed so natural like something they also learned from their childhood, and it just showed the happiness they have and the culture! The photo is a picture of the farmer's market, and the two women closer to the camera were apart of the group who was dancing.
