snow, no snow
I worked all day and into the night - I did make sure and spend some time enjoying lunch and dinner today though! First, I had a wonderful lunch at the cafe right across from my hotel. I SHOULD take some pictures of the food, but then, that is just WEIRD to do. I enjoyed the most luscious piece of cheesecake I have ever had - so light, and so creamy, omg!
Then, paused work long enough to shop at Stockmann’s and go to Memphis. Memphis? It’s right around the corner, and while I was in there eating my cheeseburger and drinking some kind of Finnish alcohol with lime, it started snowing. Now, the cool thing about that is, the street near my hotel is HEATED (according to my friend Jeff who was here for a long time working) so, here are some pics from today. First, you can see Memphis, and then, for Sam, there’s a shot of the McDonald’s sign. After that, pay close attention to where the snow STOPS - the sidewalks are always clear there.
Still working, wanting to finish stuff up so that I can have a REAL weekend here and be outdoors and sightsee, shop, all the touristy things! FUN!
When I was growing up, there was one bank in Holyoke that had heated sidewalks, and I’ve always thought it was the most brilliant thing ever.
