Afterwards we jumped into the car and drove an hour north into Brattleboro Vermont. A lovely little town, we enjoyed the parade that was happening (a protest against the re-opening of the nuclear power plant nearby) that came complete with some awesome music and costumes. We shopped, toured, and had Indian food for lunch (awesome..yum!). Afterwards, Katie discovered the town's multi-tiered parking garage that looked like a good place to hang some Ghost Babies. It turned out to be a terrific spot, as they could be seen from many different vantage points.
It was an unlikely location but it turned 
out to be an excellent choice. It was a long day, so we headed back to Katie's to make plans for the final installation, which we decided would take place the following day in the little town of
Amherst, Massachusetts. For those who have never visited Amherst, it's a quaint little town that is surround by Umass Amherst, Amherst College, Smith College, and a few other Higher Ed institutions. It is the quintessential little New England town. There are not many places like this left here in New England, and I am happy that I can visit it often. Katie came through again with the great idea of dressing up the trash cans in town, but unfortunately, not everyone was happy about it. They lasted less than two hours on the cans, as some person ripped them off and tossed them into the trash. Katie has an idea that it was the work of the "crazy guy" who takes it upon himself to clean up the streets and the sidewalks. He is seen everyday around town obsessing over what he thinks of as "His Domain". He apparently didn't see the rest of the installations, as the babies in the tree are still hanging as of this post. We wondered about this, and then decided that the man probably never looks up. He is concerned with a tidy street and sidewalk and that's all. Luckily.
