A Tale of Two Markets

We had two remarkably different experiences at markets today. We started out at a farmers market down the street from Johns Hopkins. It was full of organic fruits and vegetables, baked goods and equally organic and baked people. We saw the Women in Black, which I thought was a Tucson specialty. It was exactly what I expected from a farmers market.

Next, we went to Lexington Market in downtown Baltimore. It was full of hog and chicken parts I had never heard of, seafood, and equally salty people. We had the best experience here. We went to Faidley's seafood and had THE best crabcakes and oysters I've ever had. It was exactly what I expected from Lexington Market. We were certainly the minority there, but after being there for a while, we felt like we fit in perfectly (sure . . . ). It was an experience that is hard to put across in pictures or words. You just kinda had to be there.

We spent the rest of the day hanging out in inner harbor, having some drinks, listening to a live ska band. For those of you wondering, we actually are working on this trip, it's just not as exciting to write about yet. You'l know when work starts in full swing because we won't have time to post like we do now. Until then . . . PICTURES!!!!!
