oops, forgot to mention (and nobody else did) palm springs on thursday evenings (like 6-10). they close palm cyn. entertainment, traditional farmers mkt. plus art, cooked food. very nice.

i'll take this thread and paste it into a farmers market word document in my travel folder. so before next trip i'll have a peak. always so fun to sample (and perhaps take home) what is growing locally. we snagged at least 20 lbs of yummy dried fruit from the sf ferry bldg recently, and are still enjoying it, while being reminded of the trip.
