May 15th 2013: Dinner at Sawa Asian Cuisine and Lounge, Gardner

Today after work, I decided to head to the town of Gardner for dinner at Sawa Asian Cuisine and Lounge, a primarily Chinese restaurant in town.

Before the sun set though, I decided to visit a few places first, passing by Stuart Pond in Sterling,


and a few places in Leominster
Bartlett Pond,
Wachusett Street near Elm Street
Fall Brook Reservoir,
~100 Wachusett Street
including the Grand View Country Club

which had great views from the top of the hill,
before going to the Living Stone Foundation in Leominster first to check out the stone monuments engraved with Christian sayings strewn all over the place in a somewhat disorganized manner. Pictures follow.
The next destination town on the list was Fitchburg
Fitchburg Church of the Nazarene,
800 South Street
St. Francis of Assisi Church
Crossroads Community Church
before I headed into Ashby
Watatic Pond,
Rindge State Road near Watatic Pond Road
to find the Trap Falls located within the Willard Brook State Forest on Townsend Road near Bernhardt Road, which were pretty beautiful as you can see from my picture below.

From here, I spent the rest of the day sightseeing in Ashburnham,
Ashburnham Community Church,
84 Main Street
St. Anne's Church,
162 Center Street
People's Church
Apostolic Lutheran Church
Winchendon
Bethany Bible Chapel
and finally Gardner before heading to dinner.
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
634 Pearl Street
Old First Lutheran Church,
209 Lawrence Street
St. Paul's Episcopal Church
Sacred Heart of Jesus Church
First Bible Baptist Church
Logos Church, 9 Wasa Street
Mission Street Congregational Church
Bethany Baptist Church
Old Church, 122 West Street
Big Red, 95 West Street
The restaurant is located within a strip mall, and okay decor wise.
After looking at the menu, I decided to get the Beef Negimaki (Grilled and sliced pieces of beef with scallions, and cheese, served in teriyaki sauce) for appetizers,

and the Thai Mango Beef for my main dish.
Both were presented pretty well, but flavor wise, they were just okay, especially because there were scallions in the Negimaki.

With that, my short but productive sightseeing trip in northern central Massachusetts after work came to an end.
