Last Saturday, we went to end of Long Island which would be Montauk Point. But before we went we stopped at a farmer's market. I am not a big fan of farmer's markets, I would rather be rummaging through a flea market or an antique store. But it wasn't that bad! The fresh flowers were my favorite and I really liked all the pretty colors. Unfortunately we didn't buy any, but looking at them was good enough.
There was a variety of vegetables, cabbage, string beans, and lettuce for sale. At one stand there were even some vegetables that I have never heard of before. Also people were selling fish, Mediterranean food (it smelled so good), pretty yarn, cheese, pizza, and a variety of other things. We didn't buy anything (again) just looked. Sometimes looking is the best and it was for this trip.
We drove through the Hamptons, but didn't stop. Since it's off season many of the restaurants and stores were closed. Also it was terribly cold outside so not many people were walking around. In Mountauk (the end of Long Island) we found a small restaurant. As we entered we had no idea what to expect, half of the building was a bar and the other half was a restaurant. We sat down and ordered Jimmy's Fish and Chips. When the food came out I was pleasantly surprised. The fish and chips were yummy and the small cole-slaw was delicious.
Finally the end! It was exciting to be at the end of the island. I always love looking at the ocean and thinking there is something beyond. There are people, cities, countries out there and for just a moment I stop and realize that I live in a big world.
We walked for a little bit, my parents picked shells, Natalie took plenty of pictures, and I just kept walking to stay warm! Afterwards we went back to Montauk to get something warm to drink. Even though it was a gas station (glamorous) the hot chocolate was so good and it even had whip cream my favorite! Our day trip was really fun and I enjoyed the memories and the laughter that we shared.
Pretty pictures, sounds like a nice way to spend the weekend! I really like farmer's markets! Antique stores are fun too but I've never been to a flea market yet!
