Twin Gables, Photosensualis, and Joshua’s Restaurant are all within fairly easy walking distance from one another. Abby’s house is a mile-plus west of town and is not a safe walk due to traffic. Shuttles will leave promptly from Twin Gables at 8:30 each morning. Please arrive at least 5 minutes earlier. Drivers will be instructed to leave on time, so you will need to call a cab if you miss the shuttle. Please don’t! Thank you for your understanding.
