Sandwich
It is a Saturday morning and one of those days when you know there is no pressing thing to do and you have all the free time in the world and no one will ask you to get out of bed and get ready and still you just can't stay on in bed any more.
I got up at 5 in the morning and after tossing and turning for half an hour without any trace or hope of falling asleep again, finally decided to get up and write this blog; which is why, for the first time, here is a second entry on the same day:
July 4 was on a Wednesday (almost awkwardly for most Americans -- it should have been on a Friday or Monday). For me, it feels really good to have a vacation right in the middle of the week; it feels like a weekend throughout the week.
During the day Aman and I went to Harvard Square after a lot of procrastination - we decided not to have lunch at home as a trick to force us out of our laziness. (Food can be a really good incentive for us to do anything)
We took the outbound "T" from Kendal square and quickly landed in a very "happening", busy and beautiful Harvard square.
It was 4 in the afternoon and by this time we were very hungry and "getting despwrate". We came to "Au bon pain", which I did not know is a reasonably popular chain. There was nice live music in the square outside, violin/guitars -- I'm not really sure of the instruments, and interestingly enough there were a lot of people playing chess on the tables outside Au bon pain.
This was the place that looked good enough to sit and eat and we really did not think our stomach will allow us to look any more. We went in and ordered sandwiches and came out to sit and eat.
This brings me to the reason for this post:
Do not ask for "baguette bread" if you don't know what it is. It is super crusty - very hard bread, which I seriously don't understand why anyone will eat... poor Aman.
