Saturday, later...

It is later Saturday night, and we are the Bohemia Bagel catching up. It was a slower day, and it dif not go as planed. It is funny--one over-educated person and one increasingly overeducated person, who, I might add, is a theology student, and together we never even thought that the Jewish Quarter might not be open on shabbat. Smart dudes. I was teasing Steve, and kept saying, wow, it is dead here, it's like Sunday morning. I suppose that is politically incorrect, but kind of funny.

So we shopped and wandered around. It was colder and grayer today, so it was a good day to be less focused. The best part was the Easter festival. Held in Old Town Square, it is a mix of a fair food bash and a tourist trap gee-gaw gallery. The food was wonderful. Super sausages, incredible crepes (with Nutella, of course) and mellowing mulled wine. OK, a silly description but it was a great treat. Think about it. The Hancock County fair has elephant ears (they have them here, too, but put garlic butter on them) and here they have honest to goodness real crepes. I have had better crepes and even helped make them (thanks Sue and Kathy) but then again, we weren't making thousands of them.

We got back about 6 and slept in a power nap. I think that we are both a little foot sore today-- a lot of walking and bouncing on cobblestones. Nothing that a little Motrin won't cure.

Nothing profound tonight. I have a post planned for tomorrow AM, and will post photos, I promise.

My friend Mindy noted that Hancock County is under a level III snow emergency--bummer for all of you who are housebound. Stay safe and get out when you can.

Thanks for your warm thoughts.
