MarketFriday is about going places and doing things, sometimes it is buying food, and other times we may buy merchandise. For me, the entire thing is all about the experience, the cultures, and traveling the globe in the space of this post. It will be the fastest trip you ever almost took! I have been educated in so many ways, unfamiliar with some of your customs and cultures. The more posts I read about culture unlike mine, All the things that go along with it, It is always so very fascinating. I never knew how little I really knew about the world so I thank all of you who have enlightened me.

We visited the Raices Fountain in Old San Juan.There are so many incredible place you show me. Incredible, not because they are amazing, but, because it is part of your life and sharing your culture is something I always look forward to.

I had some unexpected surgery that has me unable to do a real post this week, and while I am fine, the swelling, bruising, and healing have slowed me just a bit. I'll be good soon. Quite miserable until then! Expectt that I should be able to do them this week~ :) Sorry to have to miss doing it last week.

I truly appreciate all of the sharing of experiences and even more, when people visit others, starting a dialogue. This is what the vision of #MarketFriday was. The understanding for all.

A #MarketFriday Parade! The mascots of Market Friday. I love them and yes, they make me smile. This was done on the spur of the moment in the middle of the night when I needed the #MarketFriday logo... I got stuck at work and had no way to put it together before the next day! All the key pieces were on my home computer. Let's see. Who will be up in the middle of the night? Someone who could make me a logo with a picture? I have always been grateful What an awesome friend, n'est pas?

So many experiences and the best part is to write them out for you, reliving the moments! Is it the same for you? I hope so, because I feel like I am sharing those moments that you write about. The best part is to have them locked up here on the blockchain, for me to read back someday when I am old and gray. Maybe sooner.

I bring you back time and again to Arlington Cemetery, it is one of my favorite places to go, to seek peace, solace or to just enjoy a beautiful day. I have people buried there, so perhaps it feels special because of that? Probably not, I have always loved it. I like the changing of the guard ceremony, a very stirring event.

For those os you patient enough to read most of this, I actually am not typing this, I am tag teaming with my daughter who is posting it for me as I dictate to her. She is quite the champ. Always stepping in when I need her. So thank you so much for visiting and if you don't post this week, no worries. We always have next week and then next after than! ❤️
