I am shamelessly in love with downtown Bath. Walking the brick sidewalk this morning, MJ in stride with a yellow balloon, I was once again reminded what a tremendous gem it is. We parked the car to finish a transaction at Country Farm Furniture, strolled to Cafe Creme for a Latte and cookie, and said Hello to Joe from Reny's as he set out the sidewalk sale. Two men plucked guitars on a bench in the sun. The Spring breeze caught brightly colored garments outside Bohemian Rose. Shoppers, and business folk and a handful of tourists unite here with various errands. From souvenirs, to laundry baskets, to fondue pots there is a store for every need. We can park the car, do our banking, get a gift or two and stock the pantry. Unlike many of the tourist destinations of the coast, Bath is a lovely combination of the eclectic and the practical. It's not untouchable nor lofty nor snootish. It's industry, art, business and history and it works so well. So as we walked in the sun this morning I paid silent gratitude to those who make it all possible.
