Why You Should Visit the Marin Farmers Market In San Rafael

If you follow me on Twitter (DacalierWine) or on FaceBook you know that I have been out of commission for a while because I was hit by a car while commuting to the officeon my motorcycle a couple weeks back.  I am recovering nicely, although I have a bit of pain from a few broken ribs.  Time heals all wounds.  

That isn't what I am going to write about in today's blog, instead my beautiful wife, Erica and I spent a few hours at the Marin Farmers Market in San Rafael this past Sunday (it happens every Sunday from 8-1).  

Erica and I were remarking that as we walked throught the crowds and tents and took in all the sounds and Oh My, the smells  it took us back to a wonderful summer day that we spent in Aix-en-Provence.  I thought I took some nice photos of that captured a bit of what the Marin Farmers Market is all about.   I hope you enjoy the pictures.
