At the risk of John running over here with his anti-whinging pills, I must complain about the fact that the coffee shop was closed upon returning from the bike ride spreading the "word".

Well I thought it must be a coffee shop as there were a gaggle of men sitting around under the awning, so ordered a coffee and that order was met with a raucous laughter. I am sure there were coffee and Danish pastries in there somewhere. I figure there are a couple of reasons for this, 1/ We were not wearing Lycra, 2/ It was not an early Sunday morning.

Even without the coffee shop being open, this is a magical place and it will be sad again to leave at the end of the week. The next part of my journey beckons. I am sure I will return.

In fact after watching Sunrise this morning we could call this our little Middle Earth. A place where magic, fun, life and all things that are good about life happens. Of course there are the villains from time to time just to keep the place a little more interesting, and this has to happen in any good story, however there is also a hero or two to make it all right again.
There is the esteemed leaders, the workers, the court jesters, and even a fire warden.

Yes we could make our own movie and I am sure it would be an instant hit.

As one of our esteemed leaders says.........Stay Excited.
