The only activity at this end of the street today seems to be a poker run. Bikes are lined up all down the block over at Plantation House, with people spilling out of the restaurant to sit at the tables in front. Luckily our morning rain ended fairly early and everything had time to dry out in time for the ride. Not many retail customers out this late in the day and I see several shopkeepers are closing up early.
Twilight fans were out though - touring the locations where the first movie was shot. Even merchants (like me) who paid no attention at all to the filming are well versed in where each scene was shot, LOL.
A gentleman from Denmark stopped in for espresso & conversation while he waited for his family to finish their Twilight pilgrimage. We talked about coffee roasting, blends & shared information about our favorites while he waited. Now I have homework - learning about his favorite coffee, Indian Malabar. According to my extremely recent internet research (minutes old), Indian Malabar is a low-acid, fairly mild, earthy coffee. Here's a link to a forum discussing the opinions of other coffee drinkers on the "monsooning" process - interesting: http://www.coffeeforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=7867
Slow Saturdays are good for catching up on shelving and pricing books, changing window displays, chatting with visitors, blogging and doing computer research. They are also rare, so I take full advantage of them.
Enjoy your weekend - meditate on the beauty of nature wherever you live, indulge in a good cup of coffee and a treat yourself to a great book. I'll do the same.
