The Folsom Farmers Market
If you’ve been following long enough, you’ll know it’s very likely to find me in a local market sampling any and every thing that’s offered. I love food. This round of staying in California placed me living a short distance from the local farmers market. For the first time I was a tourist in my […]
Hanoi – A day in the streets & the market by night!
