Saturday evening. I was sitting outdoors at the Café Atlantique, with my husband and some good friends. Enjoying the (finally)summer sunshine. Listening to the thoroughly enjoyable blues of Dan Stevens. A little boy, enjoying an outdoor supper with his mommy, clapped enthusiastically after every song, increasing everyone’s enjoyment. Friends waved as they strolled by. The sun slowly set. A perfect evening.
The cost? Under five bucks for an Italian Soda and a Diet Coke. Slightly more if we’d wanted a glass of wine, or one of their scrumptious cookies.
Too steep for you? Then how ‘bout one of the free concerts that nearly every town offers weekly throughout the summer? Bring your own cold drinks, and nibbles. Unfold your lawn chairs or spread out a blanket. Watch the little kids “dance” to the music.
Summer is a wonderful time for a cheapskate
