Some of the buildings were so old that the walls themselves started to rust. The dim orange-red of the rust seemed to give the buildings more character.
Costumed masses dressed in cherry red coats and indigo dresses inhabited the area. The colonial costumes give the impression that they’re headed off to work.
The bright green grass was covered in lemon-scented flowers. The sound of bees filled the garden as they worked on the flowers.
The country’s first schoolhouse was here. Its walls were covered in foggy white wood. The building appeared so delicate that it would turn to dust if I touched it.
Hidden in a small alleyway were shops that had all types of wooden creatures. Wooden seagulls drifted in the wind, some even looked like they were flying!
In most shops, you could hear the sound of wind chimes ringing as you walked around. Colorful garden decorations spotted the outdoor garden shop, greeting you with fruity colors as you entered.
