Eatin' good in the neighborhood

Don't worry - I think I'm eating pretty good here.
This loaf of Sourdough, 2 rice balls (Ragu - that has meat, sauce, peas, and some other random stuff and mushroom - which I haven't eaten yet), and 5 fresh, fat figs were all under 5 pounds ($10 american). The figs are amazing - 5 for a pound! Yeah buddy! And look at the size of them! You can't buy that at Wegman's.





This morning I waltzed about the town ON MY OWN and survived. I took a nice walk in the park, stopped for a cappucino at the Oasis, and went to the bank (only to find out I had to go to the post office). At the post office, the lady almost shortchanged me $100 because she didn't know the difference between american denominations. Don't worry, I fixed that right quick.
Then I bought those figs from a cute guy with a nice tan that kept winking at me. It was amusing.
I went up to the barn and bought some converters and the rest of the food pictured above. Now we are off to find scarves.

But first - a glimps of the festival we went to last night, including fireworks over the Thames (from which you could see Big Ben, Westminister Abbey, and St. Paul's Cathedral.
