Farmers Market

Happpppy Saturday!

One of my favorite things to do if it is a nice weekend is go to the local farmers market. Low and behold, today in San Mateo it was 82 degrees at 10a.m. Wow. Though San Mateo is a bit of a drive, I didn’t mind because the weather was so nice!

San Mateo’s farmers market is one of my favorites because of how large it is. There are always tons of vendors and a lot of good choices. I also like how everything is organic, so I don’t have to worry about pesticides being on my produce. There are so many great things about shopping at farmers markets. You can buy locally, the produce is always fresh from their farms, you get the best “in season” produce, and most importantly, you are helping the local community. I also think everyone who goes to farmers markets are generally in a great mood as well. You can’t be grumpy and go to a farmers market, that’s just unheard of!

One thing I noticed today was that the vendors rounded down to the nearest 1/2 dollar. So for example, if my total from one vendor was $1.70, he would only charge me $1.50. What a good deal!

Here are some pictures from the farmers market (:

Yummy.

Searching for Fish

Today, like most of this trip was spent at the beach. We went snorkeling in hopes of finding some cool fish. Not sure why, but some of the fish we saw spent all their time close to shore. They were wading all together in their little school. Kind of tough to see, but they were translucent and were camouflaged with the sand.

Culture Shock...ALREADY?!

It’s so strange going to a place where the culture is so different than the one you are used to. Imagine living in a country where you aren’t able to chew gum, sing in public, or even walk around naked in your OWN HOUSE. Sounds Dystopian doesn’t it?…Nope, that’s just Singapore.
