A Sunday in the City

I’ve really grown to like Sunday’s around here. It is the part of the week where things really slow down around town and you can actually hear, well, nothing at all. This is especially true in the mid-morning (after the obnoxiously loud church next door lets out).

People are usually out and about in the afternoon, but with most of the stores closed they are forced to create their own forms entertainment. Now that I’ve gotten used to not being able to run errands (even though I do wish there were a grocery open) I like to go see what is going on at the cathedral. This is where everyone tends to gather.

The vendors, yes vendors, are outside the church (of all places) selling their foods and plastic balls and toys. There is usually always a soccer game going on of some sort as well. My favorite part, however, are the miniature horses available for rides. You seldom see anyone riding them and they look to be pretty out of it, but their cute appearance brought on by their incredibly small size gives you something to smile about.
