Hung out at Benn's house and then convinced his brother, Jonny, to go to Saratoga with me. We planned to stop at Borders to visit Benn at work and then spend the time waiting for him to get out of work by walking down to Congress Park. I looked online for 4th of July events in Saratoga and read that there was supposed to be live music, car show, food, face painting.... It sounded like fun! So Jonny and I walked down to Congress park but it ended up being boring. It was kind of windy out and the live music consisted of a middle-aged woman's chorus that we could barely hear. The car show consisted of 3 or 4 cars, and the 2 Benn & Jerry's tents were looking desolate. So... we decided that, unfortunately, Borders was more exciting than this. We headed back up for Benn's last hour in the cafe where Jonny and I sat and talked and people watched. Finally when Benn was out of work, we drove to Spa Park, stretched, and ran 2 loops on a trail to total 3.5 miles. Stretced and then I hitched a ride with Benn to Pittsfield to bring me home and watch fireworks :) |
