Today was a beautiful and chilly day and since we are driving to Massachusetts tomorrow we decided to stay close and take it easy. We went downtown and took a walk by the lake. I really loved seeing the mountains across the lake; it is such a beautiful view as you drive into town.
Everything is so green and beautiful here--I really love it a lot (in the summer).
The vibe downtown is great too. During lunch time it was filled with tons of street performers, children playing, and people eating outside.
We came across someone playing some sort of strange horn-like instrument and Che and Sabine both entertained the crowd.
It happened to also be the beginning of the Festival of Fools, which features a bunch of professional street performers up and down Church Street. When we went back later at night, we watched an amazing Yo-Yo/juggler performer and some great musicians.
Che was inspired and began doing some tricks too.
By the way, he wanted to wear his Peter Pan hat because we have been reading the original story and he has been pretending to be Peter Pan; it just so happened that he fit in with all of the "fools" downtown.
Tomorrow we leave for Williamstown, Massachusetts where we will only be for one night so that we can see Our Town at the Williamstown Theatre Festival. Then we head to Great Barrington in the Berkshires for a week with the Beauchamps. The Internet might be a bit sketchy there so I am not sure how often I'll be able to blog...
