This meetup was this morning (starting around 10) at the Harvard Art Museum cafe. I was up relatively early, so headed over.
The directions said to go diagonally across Harvard Yard from the T station. I got a bit lost and did significant extra walking, but it was a fine morning for it. When I got there, there was good conversation about things like libraries and travel; someone with a blue streak in her hair complimented my purple. A pleasant couple of hours, well worth the trip. (The buses on Highland Avenue aren't very good on Sunday, but I figured it's a meetup, I could get there partway through, and aimed for the first bus that wouldn't get me there before 10:00, and that was fine.)
After the meetup I walked around the Harvard Square area. My first goal was Staples, where I got sheets of printer-compatible cardboard perforated for postcards. That taken care of, I had an okay steamed pork bun at a place called BaoBao that's next to the Staples, then went to the Charles Square farmers' market. I have more Esopus Spitzenburg apples and more of the Moroccan carrot and chick pea ravioli (the things I was specifically looking for), plus apple cider, cauliflower, and beets. So far I've had one apple and some of the cider; tonight's dinner was a cabbage![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude got at the Arlington market on Wednesday, with bacon and caraway seeds.
