On a Walkabout

General
There is something to be said about taking a nonrushed walk through a small neighborhood. Small antique shops, old buildings, parks with old benches.
Right now I'm sitting on an old bench in the alley between a coffee shop and a German restaurant/bier hall.
I love the look of the old brick. The trees between the benches rustle, occasionally dropping a leaf. It's warm in the sun, but here it's slightly cool. Perfect for a long sleeve dress shirt. I'm sure later it'll only get hotter, but for now it's quite pleasent.
There's a 1950s style ice cream shop that's tempting me, even this early in the morning, and I'll be going by those antique shops too once they open. It's just a good day to be outside.
Later, I have some official things to do (darn adult stuff), but for now it's nice just to be out on a nice day.

But yeah, my aunt and uncle now live in Port Townsend, WA (it originally vied with Seattle for being the main shipping hub and eventually lost) which is fantastically small and full of great shops within easy walking distance.
I mean, damn.
Phoenix is too big for me.
