You are back!!! So nice to see you again! You know how we love your adventures! They are always full of fun and food!! I'm in! How about some of that Lychee Lemongrass? You really do know how to live.

The Bucha barista (can we call her that?) was so adorable, how nice to send her a great shot! ❤️ The highlight really was that garden focaccia! What a beauty! I wouldn't want to eat it! So pretty and although I can make one, planting the garden on it would be a challenge!

Hello! Hello! You are the best!

#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.

Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
