Morning hours are busy at the old town butcher's shop. He's an incredibly smiley man, making jokes with all the locals as they place orders. His wife seems the task-master. Checking her watch constantly and shooing me away in the end. The butcher keeps his own pace, chopping in time to whatever tune he happens to be whistling.
