Today was my last Santa Cruz Farmer's Market experience. I'm really going to miss Wednesdays in Santa Cruz.
I rode my bike downtown (no way I was going to try to park downtown on Farmer's Market day... I'm not so crazy about my new car that I'd spend an hour driving around looking for parking). It's a gorgeous day, but not too hot. I bought all the things I love most at the FM--blueberries, raspberries, an avocado, squeaky cheese, expensive specialty cheddar cheese... And then I bought a peach, and sat on the grass in front of the church across the street from the market, and ate it in the shade. It dripped all over me and made my hand all sticky and tasted fantastic. Then I ate squeaky cheese and blueberries and realized the two really don't go together, and I watched all the random Santa Cruz people walk by with their organic freshly grown produce, and thought about how much I love this town, and about how amazing California is, despite being the most super expensive place I've ever been. While I was riding my bike home along Pacific, there was a guy playing an organ in front of one of the shops. How he got an organ downtown I don't know, but it was a really cool sound. A little farther down the road there was a guy playing the flute. Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz... what a perfect blend of absurdity and beauty.
I'm leaving this weekend. I'll probably take my computer offline tomorrow and pack it securely into my car. I don't know what I'll do for entertainment Friday, but I need to start getting things squared away in their travel positions, and it's important that the electronics be secure. I guess my point is, if you want to have any contact with me in the next several weeks, the cell phone is going to be the way to go, because who knows when I'll get a chance to check my email on the road, and I have to get internet set up in New Haven when I get there.
