Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history. Too bad so many have been neglected. Roads are terrible in most places and some are really run down while others thrive.. just like anywhere. Just interesting observations.

Took advantage of lovely weather; well sort of to check out the annual Arts festival in Anacortes. Actually we had rain and crummy weather on Friday, so made it over to arts fair on Sunday as a few of the vendors were starting to close up.. oh well. Had a good time checking out the wonderful works of art by local artists. Anacortes is not a large town and mostly people just pass thru on their way to ferry but worth a stop once in a while to check out their cute little shops. They are really working to improve and attract customers! Good for them the location is perfectly lovely with water all around them.
