Back in June a friend told me about Mice on Main. They're 9 bronze mice stationed on a 9-block stretch of Main street. They're not really hidden but they're so tiny they're not that easy to spot. I found the clues to their locations online. Some of the hints are pure giveaways, it is meant for children, after all.
We spotted about five other families mouse-hunting as well. We were all very identifiable: clutching our cameras and clues, hunched over looking at the ground, pointing when we found one. One time a family was right behind us. We didn't want to spoil it for the kids so when we found the mouse we just kept on walking until they spotted it and then doubled back.
The easiest one, of course, was Mickey. He's the first one and he's right out in the open on the Hyatt's fountain.

It was such a pretty day. I just wanted to bottle it up so that I could have it on the cold blustery days to come. After we had captured all 9 mice (on camera) we ate outside at the Paris Cafe. D had a chicken crepe. I had a ham and brie sandwich with apple slices on it. I was a very happy girl. And D made me happier by buying me desert at Carolina Chocolates.
Today was good for my soul.
