Thanks for the repost @pixresteemer! Much appreciated!
I wish that I could hear that in my country (in Hungary), but nowadays I hear something else because of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. Hundreds of people are escaping/escaped from Ukraine to Hungary, because they fear from the compulsory enrollment.
I hope that this conflict/war will not affect our country much more seriously.
Have a nice day. All the best. Greetings and much love from Hungary.
It's in their nature to saying. They sing when they're happy oh, they sing when they are sad. Generally I would say that they are very happy people. Some live in extreme poverty and yet you never hear them complain. God bless them.
As for the Ukraine, I have no public answers but the whole situation makes me sad. I worry for your country also, taking in more than they can probably handle oh, but that is the nature of being a human being. It's hard to just slam the door in the face of people facing unknown circumstances. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your words. My prayers go out to you and your country that a better resolution will be found. Have a great night!
#MarketFriday loves you!
So, I can post about the market where I go and I need to talk about that a little bit. Can post a bout the shop, market , super center and the other mini mark?
Yes, and if you have questions about anything , I have put the guidelines in the post above. That should help you out a bit. I look forward to seeing your Market have a great night.

Quaint cities still dressed in former charm should be cordoned off into street walkways considering they appear to have excellent public transport available.
Plantains I have only ever had in curries over here, these look/sound so interesting, something completely different.
Happy places where one is able to mingle, enjoy the sights and sounds even down to the cobblestone, lovely market and town walk Denise.

Upvoted 👌 (Mana: 76/96) Liquid rewards.
It is such a lovely place, Joan! @joanstewart They have made some streets into Walk Platz, but, so many are one vehicle wide for a two-way street. It is mostly because they are still using old roadways.
They do have public transportation, and I think it is pretty good, but, I wouldn't want to work here full time and try to make that work, delays can be 30-60 minutes.
Plantains are really, really good fried! Oh, my!! They make a great dessert here and in the Caribbean that will make your mouth water, and I don't eat sugar! Ha!
Thank you for stopping by and for the tipu! Much appreciated, Joan!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Always enjoy seeing any old town that is kept in good repair, a joy wondering around with atmosphere that sweeps you along.
Living in a place is always so different to visiting. We used to have reliable train system that is no more, times change one only realizes how much when living in one place.
The plantains sound delicious in the dessert form, certain food stores import them.
Living in South Africa we have an abundance in variety available, growing in a few of our provinces.
My mom loved fried banana, not for me..., I think I would rather give that dessert a try 😅
!LUV and happy weekend to you and the family!
@joanstewart(5/10) gave you LUV.
H-E tools | connect | <><
Given the current emission rate of LUV pushing 500/day, increases to required LUV levels will likely be forthcoming.
Nice shots of the city! The colorful buildings are very nice looking. The free trolly is a good idea for a tourist destination and the Mofongos sound delicious. I love plantains. I actually think I've been to San Juan once but nothing looks familiar in the photos. I think it was a stop on a cruise. Is there also an old fort on a hill by the water somewhere in the city?
Yes! But I've done the big tourist attractions, a few at a time, leaving me time to do the less than mundane. I haven't posted on them in a year. I've done the fort on the hill, Bacardi Factory, Raices Fountain, the huge abo e ground cemetery. This time, I just focused on walking around downtown.
Thanks for stopping by!

Have a nice day and be safe from any inconvenience. Share the post link on Marketfriday.You took pictures from beautiful angles and showed the most beautiful scenery. The first picture is wonderful
https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@amirhayat42/todays-activities-in-the-shopping-center
True, the most beautiful pictures I have already posted and these are more of everyday life, so more mainstream I would say. It has so many forts and statures and much more beautiful buildings.
I will go back soon and photograph them again.
Thank you for dropping the link~

Cobblestone streets those balconies and the fountain, walking there must be such fun for the eyes and mind
Here is my post for this week https://peakd.com/hive-196308/@tattoodjay/market-friday-at-the-mattapoisett-town-wharf
PS sorry been a bit slack with commenting this past week, have had the grandkids over quite a bit and they keep me busy :)
Hi. JJ !! @tattoodjay Silly man! Don't worry about it. I have been so busy, I didn't even notice. I didn't even finish last week's Market! :( To my credit (a small one, at the very most) I upvote and reposted everyone, now I need to keep at it till I finish the last few comments. What am I doing wrong? I need to reorganize or do something.
Have fun with the kids. You know this will be back when it gets quieter. They grow up and leave the nest before you know it!
Thanks so much!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Thanks for being so understanding
Sometimes there is never enough hours in the day
Can you check and see if I muted you? I just found the mute button. I didn't press yes but I think if you press it it mutes you it doesn't ask you if you want to. Thank you
I don’t think so as you have seen and commented on my post
But not sure if I could see if you had muted me
I didn’t even know there was a mute button
I didnt either but I muted someone last week! Totally in error! On the phone! Buttons are so close!
I just looked for the mute button and found it I must watch out I don't do it by accident
I can't believe how close it is locared to reply! I think it was reply
Luckily on peaked it is a little harder to click on mistake and I use peakd most of the time so thats a plus
I always use peakd, but, on the phone, Hive. That will be an easy switch!
What a lovely @marketfriday @dswigle and thank Goodness they didn't tear down and put up 'modern' in the 50s.
There is something always so enticing about wet cobbled streets especially when they are narrow and lined with such colorful amazing shops, such a place to visit. Thank you for this.
Have you been? It is such a lovely place. I just posted every day living in these shots, all the forts and statues and cemeteries and such have been covered in the first few posts. These I hadn't shown, but, only because there was nothing amazing about them, but, they still had some redeeming qualities. :)
Thank you for stopping by and leaving your words and for dropping your link!

How happily colorful it all is !
I love the great personalities all the buildings have. It must have been quite fun getting to visit there.
I love it there. My sister-in-law is from here, so I go visit her family when I am there. I have posted the big castles and forts, cemeteries, fountains, and the Bacardi Factory! :)
I wanted to give you something new so we don't wear it out. :) You would love it!! It is so nice and the people are low key and friendly.
Thanks for stopping by and leaving your words. Mwah!

I've never been out of the US besides Canada, so this looks really awesome. It reminds me of the pictures I have seen of Cuba. Hopefully one day my wife and I can do some travel off the mainland.
Very much so! You would like any of the Caribbean Island/ Cuba/ Puerto Rico/ Bermuda/ Bahamas... you name it, any of them. Jamaica has too much crime nowadays.
But, if you like the historical aspect of it, you would really like it there. I hope you get to try it someday!
Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you for the initiative, you participated a long time ago and today I wanted to meet the challenge of more than 50 photos, it was not easy but I managed 63
Did you read somewhere that you had to have 50 photos? You do not need 50 photos, just enough photos to make a decent post. Sorry if there was a miscommunication.
An interesting place to visit, lots of visiting, the items being sold are also interesting,a good line shops,also displaying ancient means of transportation. Like your post. Thank you.
Thank you so much. It is an interesting place and it was a very fun visit. Thank you for reading and leaving your words.
#MarketFriday loves you!
Thank you are welcome,
Sama-sama terimakasih.
Not being a tight city kind of girl I love to see these city pics! The buildings are so beautiful! You are right, they are works of art!
Here is the link to my #marketfriday post as well.
Aren't they like works of art? This was the less part of the city. I have shown #MarketFriday the Forts, Fountains, Castles and Cemeteries. Plus, the Bacardi Rum Factory!
This was everyday life! Thanks for reading and leaving your words.
#MarketFriday loves you!
I'm gonna have to dig back into the archives and check those out!

Hi @dswigle, here is my entry for #MarketFriday this week: Market Friday goes to Barnes & Noble at Union Square, Manhattan, New York City🌝
I love it!!! The bookstore is one of my favorite things to do! I hope you found a lot of things to do while you were visiting there!
Thanks for stopping by and dropping your post!

Wow! How interesting! I have never been there. I had no idea that there were such beautiful colorful houses! Puerto Rico seemed to me somehow much easier. You made the whole tour for us. Fried bananas with spices and shrimps??? 😮 Oh, I can't imagine this taste. I don't think it fits together very well 🙊😅 I also like it better when I can see the menu of the restaurant before I go inside and sit at their table. The tree is really very impressive! The yellow roses are gorgeous and I love your green glasses too! 😃
There are so many ways to make it, I know the one I had did not have shrimp in it! That would definitely be yuc
Puerto Rico is such a beautiful is s beautiful country!
it's a very nice building design. If it's from the Spanish colonial period, it means it's been a very long time, right?
Yes, that is what it means!

That fountain is nice. That tree is amazing. Here we have regulations against feeding of pigeons. I wonder if we are the only one who have it. Maybe kind of like the ban of chewing gum.
Anyway, this week pickup a bit of online shopping.
https://hive.blog/hive-105017/@ace108/marketfriday-support-the-bamboo-plant-or-by-ace108
There are many places, especially in cities where they don't exactly ban feeding the pigeons no, but they frown upon it when they see somebody doing it. When I had my kids in a park in Poland, we got scolded by the Polish police for feeding the pigeons in the park. Paris was another place. They should ban chewing gum! We all know how that ended.
Thanks so much for stopping by and reading, then dropping your link! Have a great day Ace!
#MarketFriday loves you!!
You're welcome. I still want to get gum when i go overseas 😎
Haha! I'm telling! :)) ❤️

Always somewhere I meant to go to and never made it…yet. I was in basic training with a few guys from Puerto Rico way back in 1988 and that was when it first caught my attention. This brought back some of those memories of intention. Hmmmm maybe one day
Nice! Like a travel blog, even more like a magazine article. That's why I did what I did in my youth when I found ( with difficulty) such a magazine. I used to look at the pictures! I looked with great pleasure at your photos, I liked most the narrow, cobbled streets, in the rain, at night... Strangely your post reminded me of my teenage years and youth when travel meant those magazines with glossy and perfect photos. I wasn't reading the explanatory text, I liked to dream that I was there too, with my story..., thank you!
I managed to post too, belatedly and with difficulty. With my eyes on the TV, on the news about the horror in Ukraine, a country neighboring Romania. What I'm posting about happened before the war started. A Sweet Market Completed on the Street
Hi, Dan! @bluemoon What a wonderful compliment! Of course, not close to a magazine article, but, it was fun thinking you thought so! :) Sometimes, it is fun to just look at the pictures and make up your own words. I have taken you to San Juan, so you know what it says. :)
Even though I had a free life growing up and travel was not a problem, I still love travel magazines and nature magazines. National Geographic was a very coveting magazine that my parents had a subscription to. Even though I get it online, I still get the magazine and leaf through it, just like when I was a kid! It was exactly there that I became fascinated and curious about parts of the world that I had never been to.
Even though it is not a neighboring country to me, I share your horror and hope the world does the right thing by the people of Ukraine. As you are a neighboring country, I am worried about what this means to Romania. Why is the world still like this? Are they not tired of living with the reign of terror? So now, the poor Russian people are suffering at home because they must protest and put themselves in danger to show how much they dislike what their government is doing. Please be safe and let us pray for those in the line of harm.
You and Magda stay safe!
Thanks for posting, Dan! I appreciate it!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Thank you, Denise!
National Geographic was my favorite too, they have exceptional photos.
We are neighbors with Ukraine and hope for NATO protection. The only hope not to fall under the Russians!
Very interesting insights into the city life of San Juan. I enjoyed reading your article but must confess that what I enjoyed most is this picture:
It is such a beautiful shot with the slightly wet old stones 👍
This is just beautiful I love the old school building and them cobblestone roads it makes the city just look more romantic and that's a great part of the world you have taken us just wonderful 😊
And here is my link to @marketfriday have a great weekend @dswigle 👍

The cobblestone streets of Old San Juan are beautiful and gives so much character to the town.
Yay! I made it:
