Shelburne Falls, MA

On Sunday, July 26th, Dolores Lawler and I took a ride to Shelburne Falls, MA. Our main objective was to attend a gathering of poets and writers for the purpose of reading our works. Our Google map told us it was about 70 miles and should take us an hour and twenty-three minutes. Our mileage was more like 63 miles and time was about one hour and ten minutes. Of course, going 80 mph for stretches at a time didn’t hurt. It was pleasant driving: cloudy, fairly light traffic and the blurred mountainous views were gorgeous.

We did a slow drive down Bridge St. and pulled into a parking space not far from the Iron Bridge. We were right in front of Café Martin and we took the time to check out their posted menu until all our moving parts were moving again.
