It was a lot of fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Her enthusiasm was contagious, and I stupidly agreed. &#8220;I&#8217;ll bring the camera,&#8221; I said. &#8220;There are probably some great pictures to be had there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>It ended up being horrible, and I was knocked back on my heels the moment we entered town. Uzes had turned into an anthill. I was used to markets, even large ones like the <i>vrijdagmarkt<\/i> in Antwerpen, or the one in St. Remy. &nbsp;But they were nothing compared to this.<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t walk, as much as was carried along by a tide of humanity. Vendors bellowed at me from market stalls. They wanted me to taste their goat cheese, sample their wine, chew a tug of bread, admire the quality of their olives, sniff their herbs and spices, or watch them demonstrate the world&#8217;s best garlic press.<\/p>\n<p>I was overwhelmed, completely intimidated, and kept my camera clutched tight to my chest the entire time. Linda, however, was enjoying herself immensely, and had a bright smile on her face as she walked past stalls selling antiques, delightfully-smelling soaps, rich-to-the-touch fabrics, brightly-colored pottery, a thousand and one varieties of olives, amazing cheeses, wooden toys, and an incomprehensible variety of fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>To me, it was a horror show. There was no room to move less to think. People bumped into me, coming so close that I could smell them: the scent of <i>patchouli<\/i> on one man; &nbsp;mimosa on a stylishly-dressed older woman; and the baguette with fresh strawberry jam that had been eaten for breakfast by a third.<\/p>\n<p>Linda effortlessly flitted from stall to stall, Jeet having taught her the gift of being able to flow with the crowd. I bumped into people, apologized, turned, and bumped into someone else and again had to apologize. I quickly lost contact with Linda, saw the top of her head in the mass of humanity ahead for a brief moment, and then she was gone.
