Gelato: the pause that refreshes

A typical summer Saturday in Prescott: a major event on the Square, two car shows plus roping at the rodeo grounds. I managed three out of four, which left me ready for a proper goody. As the weather has warmed a bit, my mouth was shouting "gelato"! And so I stopped at Sweet Caesar's for a double dip of intense flavor. Love the stuff!

But who wants to handle a camera with sticky, gelatoed fingers? Time to wash up in one of downtown's cool loos. Examine that device above. It's a water faucet, you know. All you have to do is figure it out and a lovely stream of water pours down the chrome sluice.

To make the tiny loo seem larger, a trompe l'oeil of Lake Como on one wall.

As I left Sweet Caesar to return to the Square for the Tsumani, I passed this set of gates that really, truly wanted to be in last night's post. This is the scene of one of the downtown condos that didn't get started in time for the developers to really lose their shirts. Lucky guys, I'd say, though the site is certainly forlorn, especially in the center of town.

Of course, summer is the time of the year for camp; just happens that Prescott Pines now has its own blog. Prescott Style bemoans the loss of the big old weeping willow in the little park at the junction of Sheldon and Gurley, cut down by ADOT.
