There was one divided street nearby that ran the length of town with an elevated walk lined by trees in the center. We walked almost to the edge of town and back. I always like to look for the pretty, even in the midst of the not so beautiful. The more closely you look, the more interesting things you see. Chickens, lots of dogs (the cats came out in the evenings and were harder to spot), boys playing a pick up game of soccer, the local baseball field/stadium, lots of pretty cool but run-down architecture, and kids rollerblading in the city square.

Looking over the wall into the old baseball stadium (below)
I loved the spiral stair on the right side of the building
Lots of kids were skating in the central square park.
The two below were sharing a pair of skates, each has one on - ha!
Lots of legacy things to see in the town. It's like going back in a time machine.
I've no idea of this worked or not.
Really cool metal sculpture made from misc. old parts.
One of my favorites - clean vibrant colors.
Hello rooster!
At the end of the afternoon, we stopped into the local Harry Potter-themed cafe. It was definitely the hangout place for the under 20. I couldn't believe the cute curly pink straws in all the drinks!
There are rocking chairs everywhere, on every porch, in living rooms, etc. I had the idea of taking photos of all the different styles, but thought of it too late to show all of them.
We had been watching people ride in the horse drawn 'coches' all week, and finally got the chance to ride in them before climbing in bus to go to the airport. A fun, quick ride down the street!
