Shrek: For your information, there’s a lot more to ogres than people think.
Donkey: Example?
Shrek: Example… uh… ogres are like onions!
[holds up an onion, which Donkey sniffs]
Donkey: They stink?
Shrek: Yes… No!
Donkey: Oh, they make you cry?
Shrek: No!
Donkey: Oh, you leave ’em out in the sun, they get all brown, start sproutin’ little white hairs…
Shrek: [peels an onion] NO! Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers… You get it? We both have layers.Shrek, 2001.
I immensely enjoyed visiting Philly after three and half years, although I have to admit it was a lot colder than I expected. Ha! Ha! Philly was chilly, get it?
Okay, I will stop goofing around…
Among the many places I enjoyed – City Hall, National Mechanics @NatMechanics), etc. – I have always been passionate about the Redding Terminal Market.
I am not your typical tourist that follows a map and sticks to a pre-arranged schedule. Don’t get me wrong, that part is fun, but the true excitement comes from getting off the beatten path. By that I mean, finding ways to experience life as enjoyed by the locals.
What better way to do so than through immersion at a local market place while enjoying a great dish, beverage, or snack at the same time???
