The metal statues of Washington and Lincoln stand in Union Square, their eyes shining and gazing into the distance. They do not think of the United States, which is full of skyscrapers and busy nowadays. There are markets, farms or farmers selling their own products, many labeled organic foods, unprecedented pink, yellow, green cauliflower, cabbage growing on the branches, all kinds of HOME MADE bread, cheese. There are many kinds of apples, there is a PINK LADY, taste slices, sweet and sour, juicy, good taste. I picked three different varieties of big apples for $2.5. Apple costs between $1.5 and $2 a pound. When I was tired of shopping, I sat down in the street garden of Union Square and chatted with the local people.
