A popular lunch spot in Hamilton is the Lemontree - hot and cold sandwiches, a Friday evening wine and tapas spread onto the patio that adjoins a really lovely park. My quick lunch was closely watched... At one point I had 4 birds on the table, 2 on each of the adjacent chairs at my table, and the rest hopping around on the patio...
Ssaturday - went to the Farmer's Market! Had a nice community feel to it, tho it is tiny, about a dozen venders. I bumped into 3 of the folks I'd spoken with there way out in Crawl later on that morning when I was looking at one of the possible rentals. They recognized me as I was walking, and pulled over to chide that they would have given me a ride if they'd known...
Similarly, this morning a bus whizzed by before I could get across the street to catch it (tho as it turns out it was not a schedduled bus but a chartered one). A woman who saw it, turned around and came back to offer a ride into town. She works as a nursing aide at a rehab home nearby.
I need to remember to get a picture of one of the buses - they are bubble-gum pink, for one thing. A really good service network, and the buses are in good shape. Few of the bus stops have schedules, tho several have shelters - basically you look for the pink pole going one direction (into Hamilton, I think) and blue poles going away from Hamilton (tho that may be the reverse of what it really is.) Simple enough. I bought my month pass - unlimited bus and ferry rides, $55 - at the post office, which is the main place where you get these.
People have been remarkably friendly and generous and out-reaching. So far, so good!
