After finding out the cost of pumpkins at the grocery store I went with the girls this morning in search of pumpkins direct from the Fruit and Vegetable Market. It's an open air market, under shade, kind of like a farmer's market. It was easy to find and full of variety for items.
I was a little disappointed to find that the only pumpkins here are more like squash. Guess I had the perfect bright orange pumpkins of home in my mind. These ones are a little more 'rustic' but Halloween is all about being ghoulish so this is probably better anyway. And the price a lot better too!
Maëlle was very excited to spot some little tiny ones and was so proud of the one she picked out.
Pumpkin procurement success! We ended up with 3 medium sized pumpkins and 2 small ones for 70 riyal plus 10 tip for the guy who followed us around with a wheel barrow, loaded our pumpkins, and took them to the car with us. That's about $20 Canadian. Now how to decide to carve them!
