Just about, just need to find my keys.
They might be on the table by the door.
Oh yeah, there they are. Thanks.
So what's the plan for this afternoon?
I thought we could check out that new exhibit at the community center.
The one about local history?
That's the one. It opened last week.
Sounds good. What time does it start?
I think it's open all day, but there's a guided tour at two.
We should have enough time to grab a bite first.
Agreed. I'm pretty hungry. Any preferences?
Maybe that cafe on Pine Street? They have great sandwiches.
Perfect. Let's head there now.
Did you remember to bring the umbrella?
The sky looks clear, but I have one in my bag just in case.
Good thinking. The forecast did mention a chance of rain later.
Better safe than sorry. How was your meeting this morning?
It was fine, pretty standard. Just planning the next phase of the project.
Any interesting developments?
Not really, just more scheduling and resource talks.
Well, at least the afternoon will be more engaging.
Definitely. I need a break from spreadsheets.
Look, the cafe is pretty busy today.
We can probably get a table outside if we don't mind the breeze.
That works for me. I like the fresh air.
What are you thinking of ordering?
I might get the turkey and avocado club.
That sounds good. I'll probably have the soup and half a sandwich.
Shall we walk through the park afterward?
If we have time before the tour, that would be nice.
We should. It's a pleasant route.
I haven't been to the community center in ages.
They renovated it last year, it looks great now.
I heard they added a new reading room.
Yes, and they expanded the art gallery space.
It's good to see investment in local places.
Absolutely. It makes a big difference to the neighborhood.
Oh, our food is arriving.
That was quick. It looks great.
Enjoy your meal. We can discuss the exhibit after.
Sure. I'm curious about the historical photographs they have.
I think they collected a lot from family archives in the area.
That's a wonderful way to preserve local stories.
It really is. My grandmother contributed a few pictures.
Really? That's wonderful. We'll have to look for them.
I'll point them out if I see them.
So after this, straight to the center?
Yes, it's about a fifteen minute walk from here.
That gives us plenty of time. No need to rush.
Good. I don't like feeling hurried on a day like this.
It's turned out to be a lovely day after all.
It has. I'm glad we decided to do this.
Me too. It's important to take these little breaks.
Agreed. It helps clear the mind.
Ready to go when you are.
Let me just finish this coffee.
Take your time. There's no rush.
All set. Shall we get the check?
I already took care of it.
Oh, thank you. Next time is on me.
Deal. Now, off to see some history.
I'm looking forward to it.
Which way is the park entrance from here?
Just down this street and to the left.
Lead the way. I'll follow.
The flowers in the park are really blooming now.
They are. The gardeners do a great job.
It's so peaceful here compared to the main road.
That's why I suggested walking through.
Good call. I can hear birds chirping.
It's a nice soundtrack for a walk.
How much further to the center?
Just on the other side of this park. See the building?
Yes, I see it. The architecture is interesting.
It's a mix of old and new design elements.
They blended it well. It looks cohesive.
They did. Okay, we're here.
Should we head inside?
Yes, let's see what's in store.
I hope you find your grandmother's photos.
I hope so too. It would be a nice surprise.
Well, let's go find out.
