At the Market

Kids love grocery stores so we thought that it was time Rai visit his first one. There's a Safeway just 4 blocks down towards the beach, but that's not the kind of grocery store we had in mind for Rai's first experience. In fact, I don't think we've ever even been in that Safeway. Instead, we rolled into the Park and quickly got lost in the maze of dirt trails that criss-cross this, the more natural and wild end of Golden Gate Park.
Trying to maintain a southerly direction, we finally heard the traffic on Lincoln Boulevard, and emerged into the Sunset District. Soon, we were at Other Avenues, our kind of grocery store; a tiny local market, fully organic, worker-owned and operated. San Francisco has dozens if not hundreds of these types of local markets, and this is one of the things we love most about The City.
Rai agreed. He quickly loaded up his stroller with a bunch of kale, some chollard greens, spinach, and more. Like us, he can't get enough of those leafy greens!
We bought just enough to fill but not over weigh every compartment of Rai's stroller and pointed ourselves in the direction of the Park where another very different set of trails awaited us for our return journey. This is the life.
