Escondido



Escondido is brilliant. Every Tuesday afternoon they close a section of Grand Avenue and have a little farmer's market. It is no Pike Place, but it is pretty cool. It is too hot to eat anything but salad, so it's perfect.

Our apartment has a large patio with yard. This means: 27 square feet of patio and a little strip of dirt. But... mint is growing randomly in the dirt, so that's cool.

Yesterday we went to a winery! I am shocked that Escondido has one, but it does. And it's pretty cute. Not fancy like Northern CA ones, but a nice eye-break from the chain stores of Escondido.

P.S. - Ken joined Costco! Can you believe it?

I am alright with you not having a picture. I'll just imagine it in my mind. You seem almost more excited for the winery than anything else Em. ;)

Sounds lovely Em, I'm going to have to visit, with the winery and all:) I just joined Costco too, so great! Actually, my boss bought us all business memberships. The folks at Costco listed Derek and I as spouses on the form... hmm, whatever it takes to get cheap food;)

*Russ - that is sketchy, but funny. Ken and I actually joined with our friend Brian, and the people at Costco were looking at us weird. Maybe in Escondido... but not weird in San Francisco!
:)
:P
