In general, the towns are gorgeous. There are no big Walmarts, Targets or other commercial stores taking over, yet. I hope they don't. So they have the chemist, the butcher, the barber, the pubs, the candy shops, the boutiques, the small produce shop, small grocery stores, the bakery's, banks, etc. All colorful well kept buildings, hanging pots of flowers, cobble stone sidewalks, they take great pride. I just smile every town we go through, so cute! Only a few stores are open late on weekdays, and a few more on the weekends. Fast food barely exists. We've seen 4 drive-thru's so far. There is 1 pizza delivery place, not sure if they'd even deliver out here!
We had lunch at a lovely bakery cafe. Vegetable soup is always pureed over here, with pumpkin, parsnip, carrots, etc, and it is very tasty. Not sure if you ever get chunky vegetable soup! And then the pastries... sigh. So yummy! Good thing we do a lot of walking! Here's some pictures the boys took, except for the last one of the main street.
Little did Mason know he was taking this for Bama! Looks cute, should have went in!
