Ok showed up to the where was supposed to be the Anansi
Story Time at the Botanical Gardens, with a friend. After walking around and
not finding anyone we went to the zoo ticket office and asked the clerk if he
knew about it. Turns out the staff there had no idea about the story time. After
we walked around some more I remembered seeing a notice on the gate which did
not read – so we went to check it. Turns out the story time was canceled due to
inclement weather. Pity – the gardens was very dry surprising for all the rain
we had these past couple of days. Many families were enjoying the holiday,
playing and relaxing in the park.
Now having nothing to do we took a quick walk around the
gardens before heading to the city mall hoping to get some dvd shopping done at
Avon. Avon was closing up and a lot of the stores within the mall were closed. (I
had passed just an hour earlier to a very bustling and open city mall by the way).
We then decided to head down to Red Cherry on Lamaha Street because
it was open and I had never been in either of the red cherries. Nice walk down the road passing Monument
Gardens with preparations going on for the Arrival Day festivities starting at
6.
Arrived at Red Cherry, greeted by some nice oldies, Madonna’s
Say Goodbye which was changed because another group of youngsters there
complained the music was boring. They put on some nice pop tunes with Pitbull ,
Jlo and Bruno Mars. It was not too loud but I think the music should have been
a little softer. You go to an ice cream parlor to hang out with friends not
much so to listen to the music. The music, I might add is a complement to the
surroundings not the focal point of it.
Friend and I both ordered Candy Man’s Dream. Mmmm ice cream sprinkles, raisins , mini MM’s, with
their signature red cherry on top. Ice
cream on top was hard but the bottom layer melted fast.
I loved it. They did not take very long to bring our orders,
possibly because there were only two other groups there at the time and
business was slow being midafternoon and a holiday.

Décor inside of Red Cherry had a nice colour scheme. Red and
Green went nice together in the stripe pattern.
Unusual rest room or should I say “est room,” entrance with Wild West
type swinging doors. Nothing to wipe my hands on after I washed it!
Ended the day by coming home and watching Avengers.
All in all, Saturday Salvaged!
