Little Italy Mercato Farmers Market - San Diego, CA Part One

Took the day off from the Rancho San Diego Farmers Market to pay a visit to Little Italy Mercato Farmers Market in San Diego,California. 5 blocks of Farmers,Artisan Foods & Specialty Booths. Open year round rain or shine. 50 Certified Farm Booths, Fresh Produce, Local Meat, Eggs, Cheese and Fish and an array of fresh flowers. Julia (14) and I were in awe of the amount of people. Parking somewhat of a chore yet we said out loud, please let us find parking, please let us find parting. We happened to find parking a few blocks away. Okay it felt like miles yet it was worth the $1.20 for an hour with a 2 hour maximum time.
I figured I could manage the "3" step" parking program.

Though Julia had to remind me to "display" my ticket.



Julia and I loved the pretty yellow cottages. Notice she is slowly getting ahead of me. OK I'm a slow walker.

OK well I was walking like a tortoise and she the hare. This is where I began getting nervous. I know she's not 5 years old yet she still makes me nervous when she is so far away! Is it just me?
Yes, thank you God for street lights! I caught up to her. OK I was a little out of breathe however still able to maintain a small conversation.


 I manage to gasp"Julia look over there at the view,you can see the water!" Great the light turned green and of course after 2 steps it turn red! Why are the lights timed in such a way?


Now how cute is this?!!!Can't you just picture yourself on a little scooter holding on to a loved one?
OK these go-carts are adorable!
