If you need a break from the sun (or even bad weather), venture into the library which has a large replica of a sailboat re-assembled over a period of 12 years in the center. If you take the elevator (or stairs) up to M level (top floor), you have nice views of the harbor and tops of the town. There's... More

We took our family in to see the replica of the ship on the second floor and stayed an hour filtering through used books for sale for 1 to 3 dollars a piece. The librarian was really sweet. Gorgeous building.
