hold on to your heart

The best thing about the Berkeley farmer's market (besides blue bottle coffee) is the view of the hills between the buildings. It allows you to imagine you are any place besides Berkeley. Sometimes it looks like Japan and sometimes it looks like a city in South America. It helps to have never been to Japan or South America. The second best thing is the fiddlers. The third best thing is the joke you can buy for a dollar. The fourth best thing is the cinnamon donuts. The vegetables and fruit are good too, but mostly I just go for the coffee and the view of the hills.
