This scene is just two blocks up the street from my apartment building - the corner where the market begins.
Yes, those are watermelons - some of the last for the summer. A very common sight in Kherson during the summer months. Thanks to those who guard them 24 hours a day, I imagine you may purchase one at 3 o'clock in the morning if you have a fancy to do so! Very tasty!
Look at my new red bag, Ma - I got a deal on this one. The lady wanted 85 hrivan ($17.00)for it, but she took 60! Wow, isn't it great?!
One of our most recently wed couples - Ira and Yuri (coming up on their one-year anniversary in October! Still pretty hot in Kherson 'til the end of August - in the 90's. You would think that with the advent of all the new and large western type supermarkets we have now, that the market would lose business. Note, however, that this doesn't seem to be the case - and you can find just about anything you might want.
