We went to Gutenberg Marktplatz today (Sat., April 28) to shop for groceries at the open air market. I could do this every weekend! This marktplatz is located in a lovely residential area of Karlsruhe and is open on Sat. from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. You can buy everything from fruits and vegetables to meats, fish, cheese, bread, spices and flowers. It was a lovely spring day (finally!) and we spent a few hours wandering the stalls, buying groceries, and having lunch.

| The fountain at one end of the platz. All the food stalls are to the left of Art, and to his right and behind the fountain you can see folks eating in the open air cafes. |
 |
| A wonderful selection of fruit and vegetables. It is asparagus (spargel) season now, so lots of vendors (and restaurants) have white spargel for sale and on the menu. I bought some and will cook it with hollandaise sauce tomorrow. |
 |
| Lots of flowers. |
 |
| Coffee anyone? Here is how to get an espresso while you shop. We thought this little 3-wheeled truck was too cute. |
 |
| More fruits and veggies. |
 |
| I'd much rather buy my bedding plants here than from Lowe's! |
 |
| The roast chicken (huhner) vendor. We are having huhner with our spargel tomorrow. :) |
 |
| Grocery shopping is hard work, so we relaxed with the local brew. |
 |
| Here is the brewmeister next to our table! |
