The Neighborhood

Hi Everyone! Its been pretty insane (literally im going insane) since school started.. so I haven't posted until now. I've been wanting to show you all around the neighborhood, so here it is!! Monterey Market is amazing! The best market around and its only 20 steps from my house! Bill, the owner is friends with all the local farmers he buys from. He loves to keep the produce cheap and its always such good quality. Today I bought cilantro, 2 avacados, 2 huge beautiful mangos, cucumber, 3 limes, 2 pink lady apples, red onion, yellow onion, a bunch of green onions, 2 jalapenos, and jamaican jerk seasoning... GUESS HOW MUCH!!!! ($9.60) Isnt that wonderful?! There is a cluster of speciality stores right across the street, all family owned. There is a good meat place, where all of the meat comes from organically raised, grass fed, free range animals near by! There is a fish market and a really good pizza place. Also the coffee, cheese, chocolate, tea place is amazing!!! Rounding up the bunch is a Chinese food place, liquor store, and a bakery! All yummy yummy! Now across from there is a wonderful cafe that have the best mochas EVER! (when the lady makes it.. the guy's isnt as good, but still good). There are lots of places to sit and relax under the shade of trees. I am quite lucky in my surroundings!!
