On my home from Pronto this morning, I decided to take a detour and sit outside of Blue Phoenix. The weather was crisp, but I wanted to get an experience of the cafe from outside. The cars were slow moving this morning, as were the customers. Like the afternoons, the cafe is closed on Sundays, but the marketplace is open. With each new customer, the chime of the door resonated, as each new eager customer came in and out, smiling walking out, content after their new purchase, and smiling walking in, excited to get their goods. When you sit outside, you see everyone that you might not see sitting in a corner inside. You see the students, parents, and grandparents walking in and out. You also see those that pass by, that peer into the store, or slow down, deciding whether or not to enter in the store. If you listen carefully enough, you can hear the light chattering inside and the soft music playing. The place is enchanting and inviting.
We have been doing some research in terms of the wheels/tires we will use for our storage bench. We are looking at both the environmental affects, durability, and ability of the tires/wheels to work in the mud. After seeing the tires (from a tricycle) that we had planned to use, does anyone have any input? Peter thinks that the current tires will be perfectly fine and we had planned not to buy any of our materials, but if we can't use these wheels we will have to buy bigger, more durable tires. However, this will effect the height of our bench and therefore, may delay our progress.
I actually didn't know that the cafe was closed on Sundays. but it was definitely a good idea to visit then. It further differentiates those coming specifically for the marketplace. I also think sitting outside was a really good idea and I like that you were able to notice those that looked into the store that didn't go in. I think overall this gives you a few different perspectives, which is important.
