What a better way to enjoy a sunny Saturday morning than with a walk to the downtown Durham Farmer's Market! After an uncharacteristically long morning nap by Timo (long but wonderful), we moseyed down the trail to downtown, then 4 blocks more to the Market.
Some scenes from this section of town - lots of changes in recent years and some very positive revitalization going on, with new stores and restaurants coming in, plus some old ones still around.

| the defining rivalry! |

| the Durham Athletic Park (formerly AAA baseball, now used for a local college and other events) |
And some scenes from the Market:

| Food trucks line up on an adjacent street |
I included this picture below of the park and porta-potty because it was the scene of a successful potty training moment. As we were walking around the market I said to Gemma, "They do have a potty here, so please tell Mommy when you need to go. It's right over there." etc. And she promptly replied, "Where? I wanna see it." So we walked over, went in, and she made use of the facilities. No tears, just delight and pride. And since then she has seemed to enjoy finding public restrooms and going in to use them - the mall, the library, and a local store. Hip hip hurray!

| We met up with the Freys and had an impromptu lunch together |
