After our failed market trip on Sunday, I decided to have another go at it. I was told by a vendor that Wednesday is a good day to go. It’s a whole sale market day and open from 8-12. By the time I got Adam up (his jet lag has him sleeping in until 10), dressed and out the door it was close to 11.
With all the metro transfers and stairs that I decided to ergo Adam. I don’t resort to the Ergo often and once I had us all ready to go and loaded up the baby, diaper bag and camera bag I remembered why.
I opted to just go with the stroller. My logic was that carrying the stroller up and down stairs was easier than carrying everything the entire time. I figured this would also limit my purchase since there is only so much weight I can carry and I already had this 18 pounds loaded up.
Sadly, the Mets hat was a casualty of the Market. Adam decided to donate it to a Russia baby and threw it off his head. We hope some cute Russian baby is getting good use out of it.
We walked to the Metro. A couple of staircases, transfers and stops we had arrived.

Before we knew it we arrived at the Market. It was everything I had dreamed of. Matroshkas as far as the eye could see.
Sadly, we arrived around 12:30 and people were already packing up. I managed to snag a few toys for Adam, but we’ll have to make another trip to the market.
My favorite purchase of the day was this Christmas ornament! This cosmonaut will get a place of pride on our Christmas tree.

I bought a couple toys for Adam, but there isn't tons of shopping or maybe I can't find it yet. There is really pricey stuff and really cheap stuff but have yet to find the middle.
