Stepping onto the BART train this morning I felt all smily because I was headed to the San Francisco farmer's market that busts with business along the Embarcadero at the Ferry Building. A few weeks back my brother and I were watching the Food Network's "Food Finds" and discovered that every Saturday S.F. has a vibrant and bustling farmer's market at the Ferry Building near Pier 2. I love stolling down farmer's markets, basking in the atmosphere of luciously bright hydrangeas, fresh cherry samples and gaily wrapped juniper soaps. There are also terribly fascinating people to watch. From the program I learned that S.F. does this on an even grander scale, one that includes exotic venders inside the hisotric Ferry Building. Put all this together and add S.F.'s vibrantly beautiful and energizing atmosphere and you've got yourself quite an experience--I couldn't wait to go.
I don't have many friends here in the Bay Area, so I boarded the car by myself, but nevertheless, I had quite a fun and unique experience. I don't like to be by myself, especially when I go out on excursions, so I called my mom and told her all about the unique stands (my favorites were the ones dedicated to French yogart and goat cheese), yummy food and wonderful "Old World" feel. Seriously, the two-some playing the accordian and violin looked as though they had just stepped off a ship at Ellis Island in 1905.
I strolled along with my Europeanish chocolate cake muffin, large cluster of bright pink hydrangeas, sweet pluots and water bottle. As sailboats glided by and the sun shone bright, I decided to bring someone back there with me soon!
