farmers market walk.

Today I walked down to the farmers market like I do most Thursdays. I always buy too many groceries and then have to lug them home.

And I always forget to take pics of the veggies.  They always look so pretty. But I did pick up a car magnet for the fridge, so I took a pix of that.

It's a tiny farm market. Not like Emmaus or Saucon Valley. Bechtold's takes up 1/4. But now we have a meat place again, but only every other week. 

Shortly before I left I received an email from Angel asking if I wanted to walk to night and to pick some place. I gave her 5 or 6 choices. When she wrote back she was leaning toward the HMT, but was going to talk to the tween. I then suggested a scavenger hunt as we walked. The tween will walk much further if her mind is occupied. Sounds like me.

I kept a eye out on the way to the market for things that could be used for the hunt. I found a couple of good ones. Hope the tween enjoys them.

This is the basic list (and answers). Just copy and paste if you are walking in the area.:
___ Someplace to mail a start card (mailboxes, there are a few left. Post office)
___ Restaurant painted bright red (at Mohician and Broadway. New. Haven't eaten there yet. Need to take someone with me that is Puerto Rician so I know what is good.)
___ Seashells in the breeze (A porch on Broadway near Alaska)
___ Whiskey barrel (Ye Old Ale House, of course)
___ Graffiti that is art, not vandalism (Wells Fargo parking garage)
___ A place with thousands of books (SS Library or Lehigh's bookstore)
___ Another country/state flag (There are many PR flags, and a spattering of others near LU)
___ An American flag
___ Sculpture made from junk (Greenway)
___ Sign written in at least three languages (OraSure's lawns, Greenway garden)
___ Sign that is miss-spelled (Comming Soon Dollars Discount. Nothing about this sign makes sense)
___ Drive-thru not for food (Wells Fargo Bank)
___ Garden resident (Gnomes!)
___ Numbers that are 10 feet high (PBS39 Sign)
___ Titan of industry in the 20th century (Steel)
___ Intentional numbers, words, letters in bricks or concrete (Sidewalk markers, property pins, bricks)
___ Stained glass window (churches, some houses)
___ 70+ stairs (HMT)

I printed out three sets. We'll see how it goes.
