As I mentioned in my last post I did get a chance to wander off through downtown Yellow Springs. It was Saturday midday and the whole area was pretty active with people walking around and visiting the many shops. When we first got into town we had lunch before the tournament. Our choice; The Winds Cafe and Bakery.
The Winds Cafe and Bakery is a great restaurant that has a bakery and wine cellar. The atmosphere feels fancy without feeling stuffy. I only had the chance to dine there so I look forward to going back to visit the wine cellar and bakery. Until I do, I think I'll save a full review and instead share these photos:

Later that day, into round 3 of the tournament, I was feeling pretty fatigued from all the vigorous card playing so I decided I needed a coffee break and low and behold I stumbled upon Dino's Cappuccinos.
The place was very low key and cool. Laid back as a coffee shop should be. I got a pumpkin spice coffee and pumpkin muffin and they were delicious. I also want to share something I'm a bit embarrassed to post...I saw Dave Chappelle. I know, I know, so very trite of me to mention. I'm not mentioning it because I was star struck either. I've only been start struck once when I saw the actor who played Liu Kang in Mortal Komabt at the D.C. Hard Rock Cafe in 12th grade and I have the Polaroid to prove it! I'm mentioning it because I did something awkward and lame. So, I've always admired Dave Chappelle for how he walked away when he felt his show was compromising his dignity and I really enjoyed his stand-up. I've read that he is a private person (like most people but unlike most entertainers) who doesn't like to sign autographs or take photos which is why he likes living in Yellow Springs because people respect that. So, for some reason I took that as I better not look at him...yeaaa, pretty dumb line of logic. So, Mr. Chappelle if you ever stumble upon this post, I owe you an apology for not giving you a kind smile when you looked my way. I was the girl with the pony bun hair. If I ever cross your path again I will smile at you like any other normal person. Whew, I feel better that I got that off my chest; thanks for indulging me. I'll end this post with some photos of Dino's:
