Every morning he goes to the market in Valadolid and sets up shop. He can't see very well but he knows his herbs, spices, and beans. He doesn't have a lot to sell but every day he makes enough. We bought cinnamon and pepper and with arthritic hands he put them in little bags. The little bags sit in my cupboard now and the spices are like rare treasures.......( now we know why they call it the heartland....)
