We woke up early and dilly dallied around the Farm Cottage. We hopped in the boat and headed over to Clayton to hop in the car to head to Watertown. Watertown is about twenty minutes from Clayton on route 11. Clayton is a tiny town with one grocery store, the Big M. We needed to stock up on staples, and Kerry wanted to head to 'The Mustard Seed' and organic grocer in Watertown. I happily obliged as it meant I would get a bit of whitewater time at the local play spot on the Black River.
We stopped in K-Mart to get a few necessities for the cottage. An enormous thunderstorm blew in while we were inside and the weather changed in an instant. I enjoy the fickle nature of summer weather.
The Mustard Seed was super cool. I bought a whole body 'total Cleanse'. Use your imagination. They're supposed to be really good for you, so I figured I should give it a whirl. After 'Mustard Seed' I stopped in the kayak shop and talked to Brian. He led us down the Black River last summer as part of the bachelor party. I discovered the Black River Festival is this weekend, so I am headed out to race and enjoy the festivities. Hopefully I'll meet some folks who know a bit about the river scene in Quebec. I had a good time in the play hole while Kerry bargained for a table for the cottage at an antique store up the road. I decided I am definitely interested in play boating a little more, but I absolutely hate the green Jackson All-Star I own.
We headed back to the cottage. Kerry made some Brats from her cousin Elizabeth's farm, and I built a huge fire pit next to the river. The wind blew strong and cold the entire evening and when we were finished with dinner we sat by the fire and stared across the open water to Clayton.
