A gorgeous (albeit hot, very hot) morning in Winter Park.

My favourite little alleyway on Park Ave. with an outdoor patio by the fountain and a used and rare books store. I am not sure that this belongs in the rare books category but I made a discovery of Shel Silverstein's Where the Sidewalk Ends and had to shell out the appropriate nine dollars for it. It is a collection of wonderful children's poetry and hilarious illustrations. The poems are very funny but also hold ageless and meaningful lessons. Here is one of my favourites:

Colors
Where the Sidewalk Ends, author Shel Silverstein
My skin is kind of sort of brownish
Pinkish yellowish white
My eyes are greyish blueish green
But I'm told they look orange in the night.
My hair is reddish blondish brown,
But it's silver when it's wet.
And all the colors I am inside
Have not been invented yet. 

Veggie bagel with sun dried tomato cream cheese

Almond butter and Gator Jam

There's a wide selection of vendors with fresh bread, bagels, pastries, jams, spices, pickles, vegetables, flowers, lemonade, cucumber water, and anything else you need to feel cheerful and relaxed on a bright Saturday morning.
