| Just 1 of MANY fantastic stands at the Los Gatos Farmer's Market! |
Well, always on the lookout for neat new places to eat, we have not been disappointed here in California. One delight, there are a number of frozen yogurt establishments around town...for those of you unfamiliar, its a big trend these days. Self-serve frozen yogurt, usually 4-6 flavors to choose from, all low/non fat, with a huge toppings bar. Toppings range from healthy fruits and nuts or granola to, chocolate, caramel, cookies...etc.

| Happy Yogurt, Downtown Los Gatos, but there is also Yogurtland, Pinkberri Yogurt and several others! |
Customers get their own yogurt, then fill with whatever toppings can be imagined (and fit in the cup)....your concoction gets weighed and you pay something like 30 cent per ounce. Very fabulous/dangerous!
Another place worthy of special mention is the Santa Cruz Diner. We spotted this place the first time we ever went to Santa Cruz but didn't stop. (We dined on the wharf instead, also great stuff!) This time we made sure to stop at the diner on the way back to Los Gatos. It was way cool and 'dinerish' inside. It had the typical bar and booth set up and all sorta strange stuff on the walls.
Another cool thing was the framed pics of Guy Fieri on the wall. Apparently the place was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives on the food network. They had a huge menu with so many great options...hard to choose! Ashley and Rachel finally settled on breakfast and were totally loving that they were allowed to order that at dinner time!
Final 2 words on food are: Farmer's Market! Los Gatos has a fantastic farmer's market downtown on the weekends. The street is closed and set up with tents. Everyone seems to be there, yet it is not too crowded or picked over. It is the most spectacular selection of fruits, vegetables, flowers and homemade things you can imagine! There are califlower of all colors including purple, squash of all types(even way neat minis), squash blossoms, bags of salad greens with edible flowers, fresh crepes made right there, breads, pies, brie, fresh flowers, musicians...... We will not miss a weekend during our stay here I can say for sure!
