Good old Farmer's Market .

 Boy , it was good to find and spend some time down in Los Angeles's Farmer's Market . First , as I have expected .. was limited Parking everywhere . So being brave , we parked in a Shopping Center .. that had ( from what I could see ) at least three hired Patrol Guys making sure .. whoever parks their Car there , is also going into the Stores not over the Street to Farmers Market . Heck , I took the risk .. as he was looking at us .. we just entered the CVS Store . Staying a few minutes , coming out and checking if the air is clear . It was , so we walked away from the Lot and back again on the other side of the Street to .. you know where .
Parking was allowed for one and a half hours , the Sign posted .. said . Planning on going back and moving the Car later , was our plan .. but of course that was overlooked/forgotten quickly . Three hours plus later our Car was still sitting there , with no Ticket either . GREAT ! Felt like I commited a Crime thought and got away with it . haha

Anyway , not having been there for some .. at least 20 years .. it really hasn't changed much . Lot's of Food of all kinds , quite a mix .. just like the People .. from many different Countries . Sweets around every corner and of course Souvenirs . The little Store , housing the hundreds .. if not thousands of available Hot Chili Sauces . Picking four was some challenge , as I had to answer with each I looked at or picked up to check .. why this one .. to my LaoPo ? All I could come up with .. is ? I don't know ? How can anybody in the World know all of them ? I just look at the Skull/Flames on the Sticker , if I like it .. it's let's try this ! I like when it tells you , don't let it come in contact with your Skin . Sounds like they selling Acid . Guess , one has to use Cast Iron Pot's/Pan's or it will burn a hole in them while Cooking .

After buying some Sweets/unusual Dried Fruits and Ice Cream's of course , couldn't just walk by those on a warm day . Good thing , we had a good Breakfast before leaving Home . Otherwise , we sit down and try oh so many wonderful smelling/looking Treat's .. that seems hundreds of People enjoy .. either for Breakfast or Lunch . These Places are Packed everywhere . Almost looks like they are giving the Food away Free , when it fact .. nothing is really cheap there . Then again , $ 11 for Ice Cream for two .. is better then San Diego $ 24 for three . Makes you think , where is a Thrifty Store of old ?

So sneaking back to the Car , it was my Idea to show Qing the Staple Centre .. as we are going there .. to see the Kings ( Ice Hockey ) . First time for my LaoPo , so need to tell her some of the Rules beforehand .. so she at least follows somewhat .. whats happening on the Ice .

Going home , was up the old/pretty 110 Freeway towards Pasadena and Home from there . Wonderful Weekend ones more , then again .. why wouldn't it be ? Being with/near my Sweetheart is always Wonderful , yes .. even Shopping with Her .
