Besides a nice visit and meeting Amelie for the first time, we also made time to visit the Farmers' Market - a big Sunday morning one near the Mountain View train station. Amelie had a great time (as did the adults) sampling all the in season fruits, such as peaches, plums, nectarines...she even tried some dried apricots (one of my two purchases - I picked the sulphur free variety - also got some fresh pickles).
Here are a bunch of photo highlights from walking around the market and enjoying the incredible sunny day. What a great idea, Cathy!
Afterwards, we stopped for a bite at a little cafe near the market. Besides some great falafel and baklava, we met the nicest homeless man I think I have ever encountered. He offered quite a bit of advice - for a casual meeting and considering he was a homeless man - on childrearing. I forget, did we thank him?
In any case, a nice opening day for the road trip, and thanks again, Cathy, for the hospitality!
