Cultural Experience: the farmer's market on pearl street

The farmer's market on Pearl Street was a cultural experience because it showed me what the local community outside of the University of Denver was like. Having been to farmer's markets in Kentucky, i knew the set up and atmosphere well. It was interesting to see the different products local vendors made and sold and how they compared to those at home. The most interesting product to me was salsa. It was common for vendors to sell home-made salsa in their booth, which seemed to be one big difference from the vendors at farmer's markets that I had been to before. Salsa is not a common product in Kentucky. 

The farmer's market on Pearl Street was filled with friendly people and great food just as any farmer's market should be. It was an opportunity for me to learn about the community that surround the University of Denver. I got to learn the best way possible, through my stomach. I left the farmer's market with a better idea of the community I joined by moving to Denver and a full stomach. I think the best way to learn about a culture is through food and I did that job well. I have returned since and plan to go many times in the future.
