This Sunday Sara, Natasha (my friend from work who is coming back to the states with me in February!) and I went to the Newtown Festival, which fuses music, food, and art within grassroots community. Newtown reminds me slightly of Woodstock, NY- it has that hippie, tree-hugging vibe that is fun to immerse yourself in for a day. It was a wonderfully hot and sunny day, and we enjoyed roaming among the sea of people sampling foods and drinking cold beverages while admiring the endless amount of jewelry, hats, clothing and other "things" being sold.

One of the food novelties we tried were Chips-on-a-Stick. I've been to plenty of festivals and fairs back home, but I don't recall ever seeing or eating chips-on-a-stick. This is probably because in the states we prefer munching on buckets of french fries, but I assure you that chips-on-a-stick are just as if not more tasty than french fries. If I could I would ship you all some, but I don't think they would preserve too well over a few days; soggy chips-on-a-stick would be pretty awful.

After we had our fill of festival, Sara and I roamed the streets of Newtown exploring the neat shops that lined them. One of them was this massive book warehouse. It was stuffed with aisle after aisle of shelves overflowing with books. It was fun getting lost in the shop, discovering the books that existed there.

I sure hope you at least got the method for chips on a stick figured out so your dad and I can make them here. Cool book store. Tha'ts the kind where you find all kinds of neat, unusual books if you spend enough time.
Those chips on a stick look yummy!!!
The pics are great! The weather sure looks nice and warm!!!
We have 40's and 50's here during the day.
Enjoy;
