car free day, main street!
comment: I did not eat lunch today. but took lots of pics on the weekend, so you get to see them here. sunday was 'car free' day on main street. 12th to 25th was all blocked off and people milled about in the milling fashion. it was good fun. as you can see there were a lot of people. click to see a wiggly of it. in the wiggly, is Valeria! I didn't even see her until well after taking this photo. can you find her?

and the return-it guy...

BONUS CAR FREE VIDEO!

comments: I don't know if I mentioned it, but I bought a camera in Japan. cuz that's what I need. more cameras. this is the Ricoh CX1 which has a couple cool features. like HDR in-camera, and the burst mode I used to make this video. it bursts 30 frames or 120 frames in a second. but only for a second.
