Today we took a trip to the Ft Pierce farmers market. Well, actually the market is right by the marina so all we had to do was stroll down the dock, walk up the ramp and there it was. The Ft Pierce farmers market has been held every Saturday for the past 14 years. Many booths were set up selling every type of fruit and vegetable as well as breads and pastries. There were also vendors selling barbeque, cuban and guatamalan foods, dips, hot sauces, fish and more. If you crossed the street you could find more vendors selling arts and craft items. We stocked up on bananas, tomatos, cucumbers, honeybell oranges and peppers. Because it was early we decided to get some coffees and pastrys and joined the crowd at the seawall for breakfast. Brady's fine sense of smell found the vendor selling gourmet dog cookies and so he had a little morning snack. Later on the crowd was entertained by the "Critters". A group from the 60s. One of the members of the band, Don Ciccone
played with two other famous bands. Does anyone out there know the names of those bands?
Tonight we got takeout from the Tiki bar and restaurant. I got lobster ravioli which was delicious. Denise got what looked like some kind of pork that appeared to have been flattend by an 18 wheeler truck. Although it looked a little like a meat pancake she said it tasted ok.
We leave tomorrow morning for North Palm beach
