Farmer's Market in PBG

This morning my friend and I decided to take a little stroll around the farmer's market in Palm Beach Gardens. This event is one of my favorites when I travel outside of Florida. I've been to a few but I believe that the best one that I've been to was the one in Union Square in NYC. I will make a post of that Farmer's Market later on. Anyways, the weather was a bit gloomy but it was breezy. An awesome change for Florida in my opinion. The Market was full of families, kids, hippies, and foodies. There was a live jazz band giving a great atmosphere. Free samples were available which makes it all worth the trip! Parking was a hassle but the walk to the market in the crisp breeze was wonderful. Not everything was organic which I wasn't expecting but I did get to try a few samples of raw honey and took a 1lb. bottle home for $8. I know it's a bit expensive but it's grown in florida, it's unprocessed and the taste was very close to the raw honey that my grandpa used to bring us from Chile.

Macarons pour moi!!! Surprise???

So today out of nowhere I get a small square package in my mailbox. I wasn't aware of anyone sending me a package so it was definitely unexpected. I looked to see who it was from but it had no first name. I recognized the handwriting and I immediately knew that it came from my friend living in Paris. If you didn't know, I am overly obsessed with the delicate little french cookies called "Macarons". I have even attempted to cook the Macarons myself and after 4 tries I was finally able to master this small, delicate, almond based cookie. My very first one was when my friend and I went to New York City and stopped by the "Macaron Cafe" on Madison and 59th street. Ever since then I have fallen in love.

Anyways, baffled by the box I had no idea of what it could be. I took some keys and started tearing up the brown tape that was covering the small square box. When I finally tore apart the brown box i realized that there was a purple and black box with rococo designs all over it. The box was encrusted with a golden logo and name that said "Laduree". Now if you don't know, Laduree is a pastry shop known for the best Macarons in the world. It was even featured in one of the last episodes in Sex & The City. I opened up the small box in excitement! I couldn't believe that I was about to have Macarons from Laduree! But to my surprise all of the Macarons were crumbled in small pieces in the box. The raspberry was mixed in with the cassis, the coconut was all over the pistachio. It was a total mess! I guess the mailman forgot to put "Fragile" stickers al over it? Anyways, I tried a small piece of the broken Macarons, and although the delicate cookies were broken and shattered like glass, no one could take away the deliciousness of the Macarons that came from Laduree. Thank you Danay!

Lacrosse in the Park

While I am currently living in Florida and trying to figure out my future of where I will eventually end up, I am trying to find as many things to do. It can be difficult to find great places to go to since the mall and the beach can tend to be a bit repetitive. Today luckily I was able to attend a lacrosse game with my friend. We had a comforting breeze and it almost seemed perfect while we sat on the grass on top of a blanket with a Starbucks drink in hand. There was no humidity and the sun was definitely shining. I forgot my sunglasses so my eyes had to be distracted. That's when I pulled out the G11 and
started snapping a few shots of the action around us.

Oh yea... by the way, we won!
