The Purple Painted Lady, Turtles and Butterflies
By the time I stopped for a food break, it was a little past 2:30pm. A little after 1pm I'd passed The Purple Painted Lady and decided I was going to take my break there. I locked up my bike, stretched out a bit, drank a bit more water from the Camelbak, and walked in.
The coffee shop within the shop clearly serves a need: this is the kind of place people like to spend time in, browsing.

I asked the owner, Trish, if they had any food, she said no, but I could have biscotti and the specialty popcorn they sold. That did the trick--that and a frozen chai, Italian soda, and cappuccino.
Speaking of browsing, if you look at the bottom right corner of the photo of the cafe, you'll see a large painted butterfly. The shop had a number of those, some substantially larger than the one pictured above. Butterflies seemed to be one of the motifs: in addition to the painted butterflies, they had butterfly t-shirts and the like.
Anyway, I thought it would be a good time to explicate the logo a bit; see the next post.
Trish and the staff were great: they let me relax in my sweaty, muddy cycling duds.
