June 14, 2008 -- Kingston, RI
Today I got to visit the Farmers Market on the URI campus. They have a few things I'm not used to seeing at local produce markets at home, including fresh live lobsters, clams, and oysters. I also got a good cup of organic coffee, a whole wheat pineapple scone and picked up a potted geranium to add a bit of color to my room.
After visiting the farmers market, Kim took me, Otto, Thess and Gwen to Mystic Connecticut to the
Mystic Seaport where they were having a
"Sea Music Festival" and lots of other stuff going on. It was a neat place with a mix of folk music, museum displays and big old wooden ships including a huge old whaling ship the
Charles W Morgan and a recreation of the
Amistad. The weather and all the boats really made me want to get out sailing. They did have boats for rent for $20/hour but there were also so many other things to see and do that I didn't try to go for a sail.

There are days when being in the middle of the country seems so. . .not as much fun as other places.
