Bathe, Maine in May: City of Ships

I spent the last two days in Bath, Maine and had some time between meetings to snap pictures and capture a slice of the "City of Ships".  The locals: friendly, warm, real America.  My favorite place-- Bath Sweet Shoppe.

The owners, Joan and Paul Fraser, told me they worried that they may not be in business much longer if the state is successful in placing a tax on sugar.  They talked about how this would ultimately affect their bottom line and possibly drive them out of business along with the other 100 small confectioners in the state of Maine.  These are real Americans.

Check out their website, you can order a lobster dinner (made entirely of chocolate):
