So it is a very rainy Sunday. The kind of day where staying curled up on the sofa with a cup of tea, and soft music in the background makes me HAPPY!


But I try to get a little activity everyday and I am sick of looking at the inside of a gym because it has been raining a good portion of the week. Luckily there was a break in the rain, and I got out and walked around. I love Sundays because many of the shops are closed and on rainy Sunday's very few people are out and about.

The Amsterdam - the perfect place to go for a pint during Octoberfest, and the upcoming Fall Feast Week. Sorry, This Amsterdam doesn't sell Herbal Supplements, but the waitstaff make you feel at home.

The Crosby bakery is an institution in Nashua, we are talking generations. They don't have a website or a facebook page, and they don't advertise. It is all by word of mouth. Many people stop here for a sandwich because the bread is so fresh. The favorites of most tend to be the hermit cookies, and homemade donuts. I come here once in great while when I want a calorie splurge too.

I have had a very active Sunday morning. I started with a swim in the pool.

Then I walked the long way to my car and looked up at the Clocktower and thought the clouds made it look like a vintage horror movie scene. I was fully expecting Bela Lugosi to walk out of my apartment.

And I finished my morning by going on a short hike at Mine Falls Park. Great hiking trails right in the city, but are near huge power lines, so frequent visits might give me cancer.

How was your Sunday?

As I mentioned in my first post I live in Nashua, NH. It is small city that offer the perfect mix of Boston and Rural country attitude. Today in Memory of those fallen on 9/11 the streets were lined with flags.

10 years I ago I was living in Cambridge, MA and on that day I was at UMass, Boston. In the Fitness center. I stop exericising I couldn't believe what I was seeing on TV, they had stopped playing music and turned on the TV's volume. It was horrific, and heart breaking, but for me that wasn't the worst part.

UMass is right on the water and you constantly hear the the noise of jets coming in for a landing, but later that day I was staring out at the water beautiful calm and breezy, and absolute silence in the air. All I could think was "How can such peace come from such tragedy?"
