San Diego Getaway: Little Italy Farmer’s Market & Seaport Village

Saturday morning D went on a run in the dark.  The night before we agreed that he could run 6:30-7:30 but he ended up running 5:30-6:30.  He is nothing if not disciplined. 

We went to the Farmer’s Market at 8:00 a.m.  We parked at Washington Elementary, which was free for 3 hours.  Parking in Little Italy is generally a pain, so that was nice. 

The market was about three block long.  I always enjoy a good farmer’s market, and this was a good one.  We sampled many things, fruits, cheese, chocolate, a green smoothie and lemon butter crepe, among them.   

It was difficult to make a decision about what to have for breakfast.  We settled on sharing a breakfast panini with black forest ham, chocolate bread stick and canele.  I also picked out some satsuma tangerines, my favorite.

I’ve always wanted to try a canele, and I thought it was really good.  D wasn’t as impressed…more for me.

We found a nice bench on which to enjoy our goodies.  Next we returned to our hotel and walked right out of the lobby into Seaport Village.  This is where D’s run started out in the morning.

Another picture of our hotel.  We always enjoy Seaport Village.  The weather was nice and the scenery is beautiful.  I can see why it is so popular with tourists.
