Yesterday was a good day. After a dreary week of work and rain, we woke up (after a blissful 10 hours of sleep!) to sunny skies and high tailed it outdoors. Signs had been posted all week about the fact that the main street (Leonard Street) in Belmont would be closed for most of the afternoon for Town Day. Curious to see what it was all about, we headed that way. Sounding quite provincial, I was hoping that it had something to do with Massachusetts' colorful colonial past. Konrad expected there to be some heated civic discussion.
Town Day, it turns out, is just your typical small town fair, complete with fried dough and a dunking tank. We wandered around, noshed on pizza and ducked into Craft Beer Cellar for an Opa Opa beer tasting. Kate Baker and Suzanne Schalow, formerly of Cambridge Common fame, opened the shop back in November and the place is packed with a rotating supply of fabulous foreign and domestic craft, micro and artisanal beers (with a great selection from local breweries!).
Afterward, we took a turn around Mill Pond before coming home and resuming our usual positions: Konrad eagerly powered up the computer and I happily curled up with a book, which is pretty much how you will find us on just about every Saturday afternoon. We are a quiet pair and one that is pretty easily pleased.
