Ferry Building Harvest Festival

All October, the Ferry Building has been advertising its harvest festival. So today, I used it as an excuse to get myself to the gym on a Sunday morning. I really need to get my arms back into shape. I have to say, my time at the gym was probably more exciting than the Harvest Festival. Maybe I got there too late, but it seemed like nothing more than a few extra free sample tables and some (admittedly rather good) live music.


Still, an afternoon spent at the Ferry Building is better than an afternoon spent in most other places. I hunkered down at the Ferry Plaza Wine Merchant with a glass of verdelho and three oysters that I'd picked up for $1.50 at a neighboring shop.

Afterwards, J and I went shopping for groceries in the Richmond and came across a box of dragonfruit. I almost bought one, since he's never had one before. But at $7/lb, they were quite a gamble. We decided to wait until a little further into the season, both to see if they're selling and if we see them at farmers' markets.
