Salt air, ship lanterns, and four junk shops in eleven miles of coast highway.
Everything on this stretch of coast smells faintly of salt, including the merchandise.
Four shops in eleven miles, all of them heavy on ship lanterns, glass floats, and charts of a coastline that has since been resurveyed.
I bought a brass lantern with a cracked lens. It does not work. It sits by the door anyway.
Sometimes the long way around is the point.
