Summer Solstice

Today lives up to its moniker, the first day of summer -- sunny, hot, and humid -- as well as being the longest day of the year. Time to hide!

Au Bon Pain celebrated the day with a free cup of iced coffee.

The cool part, well, aside from being free of charge? The iced coffee was served black. You add your own milk and sweetener.

The drink paired well with the palmier I purchased, which doesn't mean much since their palmier would taste great with mud.

I really am celebrating the day, not because it is the longest day of the year but rejoicing that each day is one day closer to autumn, my favorite season!
