Ferry Plaza Farmers Market















Here is a little dialog of my adventures in San Francisco! You see, we live where it is VERY warm all summer long, clear into late October! Luckily we live close by my favorite city by the bay. (so we sneak over for a cool off every now and again) Like the song goes "I left my heart in San Francisco". I am fortunate to have grown up in the Bay Area, and have lived there for most of my life. Back to my weekend adventure....... we headed over to the City on Saturday, and our destination was the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. Talk about colorful!!! Visiting the Ferry Plaza, is a very sensory experience. You can smell the fresh fruits and vegetables, and the aromas of fresh cut lavender and basil waft through the air. Savory foods and restaurants are all along the walkway. Tea & Coffee shops, bakeries, cheese shops, kitchen ware shops, and much, much more!


The sign says it all! EAT WELL!


Fresh Figs & Sunny flowers

Fun packing crates ~ The name says it all!!!!
Oh, and did I mention that I LOVE CALIFORNIA!!!!! Now I don't mean to squelch my Canadian friends and family, but there is simply no place like home! (having lived in another country for two years, makes you truly appreciate you home)

If you are ever in the area and haven't been to the Ferry Plaza Marketplace, be sure to stop by for a worth the trip experience! If anything, you can get a breath of fresh air and walk away feeling refreshed, invigorated and ready to go home and cook up something good!

Next post will have more photos in this series..........stay tuned folks!

Looks fun! I ran my 1st marathon at Stinson Beach, and I REALLY enjoyed San Fransico. Next time I'm there I'll have to check out that market!
