We ended our vacation (more like what the Brits would call a mini-break) with a trip to the Marin County Farmer’s Market. It is, hands down, the best farmers market in the country. The Sunday one is huge and has been written up in all major newspapers and food magazines. We never missed a Sunday at the market when we lived in Marin County and went quite a few Thursdays as well.

I think, under new rules, everything at the Marin market must be organic. It all looked great, and it gave us a twinge of sadness for our old stomping grounds. But then again, we sure didn’t miss the traffic.

Not to rub it in to those shivering masses, but we wandered down to the farmers market in Central Phoenix (Central & McKinley Sts. To be specific) in 75-degree weather. Forgetting to move my new JVC camcorder from picture mode back to video mode, all I captured with my new gadget was one picture. Luckily, I pulled out my Sanyo Xacti and shot some footage of a a duet performing at the market.

You will notice my conversation with an admirer of my cool Xacti. Pays to have multiple video cameras on one’s person
