I can't think of a better place to celebrate Independence Day than Woodstock, NY. We jaunted down there today and took in all the glorious, independent hippie vibe.
There was a small outdoor shop area with, of course, tie dye and lots of peace signs. It's sadly ironic, however, that it was all mass produced in a third-world country. Where were the local artisans?
The little cafe at the main intersection of town has the greatest sign:
Our favorite place to eat in town is Joshua's. Yum! The menu is mostly mediterranean and very veggy friendly. Plus they have a full bar and serve breakfast 'til 3pm.
At Joshua's we ate the amazing zucchini cakes and I had a falafel sandwich that was about as big as my head. Check out my ring...looks like fireworks!
There's a cute little stream that meanders through town and was very fast-moving today.
We met a big striped tiger cat that belongs to Treasure Chest Antiques. He bolted by the time I could get out my camera though.
The shops in town are quite unique and worth a look. Curiosities Maria Antoinette has a very eclectic collection of wearable art. Love this fuschia tutu!
