It's currently 10:19PM and there's two days left until the Aqui Mercado and I'm super excited for it considering the one last week was super fun. Everything from the food, the pier, the weather, the music and the people was perfect, although my favorite part was definitely the people. I'm such a recluse and spend most of my time creating that I rarely get a chance to interact with other humans so to be surrounded by like-minded people is such a blessing.
If you know me personally, you know I don't talk much so when I yap at these markets I usually lose my voice by the end of it lol but what can I say, I feel so at home connecting with people through a t-shirt.
I want to give a shout to Rich, he was visiting Washington all the way from Texas with his girlfriend and happened to pass through Yakima so when he saw the "Sun Valley Organics" banner, he asked what the name meant and we told him it was basically another name for "Yakima". His ears perked up as soon as he heard the name and mentioned that they had just passed through there earlier that week. There's a lot of funny coincidences like that, that happen at these markets which is why we love them so much.
Man, all I can say is life is beautiful and I cherish every single connection we make with people at these markets. I'll never take it for granted.
