Stop at the little pharmacy near the Eleonora and chat with the pharmacist. Not a particularly good year. But it's recession proof - people always need medicine? Yes, but they can't always afford it. Pharmacies here are very European. They may carry hand creams but not magazines, toys, toilet paper, etc. presumably they survive in large part on over the counter medication as residents usually pay 50 cents per prescription at the hospital pharmacy. Or maybe that's not true of those who go to private doctors.
To Carrefour in the afternoon. It's not what we went for, but we're unable to resist the celery. An enormous bunch for €.0.45 (£0.37, $0.68 CAD). Then the question of what to do with such a huge tree. J dehydrates the leaves to season soups and sauces, but that leaves a great deal of stem - and we have only a bar sized fridge.
