A trip to the Kingston Fruit Market

An early morning wake up allowed for a beautiful sunrise over the bay for our drive to Kingston. Among some other errands, Kwao and I went to the farmers market. It was a slow day, but the stalls were still pilled high with onions, irish potatoes, ackee, papayas and oranges. I even got little treats of a frozen bag of sorrel juice and an empananda! Going from Yerba Buena to Kingston is a bit of a shock...like going from a hottub to an ice bath. There are people everywhere and everyone seems busy. It was exciting to see such a contrast from my very laidback time on the farm!
