Sunshine

It's been raining a lot, and overcast much of the time but today is bright and sunny and there's a farmer's market on in town. It could turn out to be a well photographed market as several of us students are heading there this morning as we continue to explore Missoula.

Yesterday was the second gathering of students this week and gave us another chance to introduce ourselves. Yesterday was also the first Friday in the month when many art galleries open in the evening. The rain had stopped by that time and the sunshine had started, so there were lots of folk on the streets.  The presence of several groups of musicians gave an atmosphere not unlike the Edinburgh Fringe.

First Friday happens each month during the summer and one of the venues was the gallery at RMSP which is located in the centre of the town so we meandered across there to see the exhibition and look at other galleries. Eventually the craving for food took over the craving for art and a bunch of us headed for meal and more conversation.

Despite yesterday's dull start and some light rain I headed out with another student to explore the town and take pictures in various places.  I'll upload a few more once I've decided on the best way to do that, here's a sample for now.
