Everything worth seeing eventually happens on Park Avenue and in Central Park. No not the "Parks" in New York City. I'm talking, of course, about charming downtown Winter Park, Florida.
This morning Dave and I attended a meeting at our church which is right around the corner from Park Avenue. Afterward, we walked to the Avenue, sat outside at a little French restaurant and shared a croissant sandwich and a French pastry. (Yes, it was to die for.)
We read in the paper just yesterday that Ann Romney was coming to Central Park to speak from the bandstand this afternoon at 4:00 P.M. The park borders the West side of Park Avenue for about four blocks. This is what much of the East side looks like.
Not much happening when we arrived but as we ate our lunch, things started buzzing. Guys with phones appeared. Cars began filling up the side streets. Park Avenue was blocked off and cars there began disappearing. Romney T shirted folks began showing up all over the sidewalk.
We walked around a bit. Quite exciting. This afternoon, downtown Winter Park will be one of the centers of the universe, in a way.
You know how much I love this place. And how thrilling it is to have so many things happening.
But, like everyone else in the country and the world, I will be so happy when this campaign is over and we can all get back to the normal celebrations.
