big part of the fun in P-town is the perpetual parade of gays, straights, Portuguese fishing families, and lost-looking tourists from Utah. When you need a secret place to escape from it all for a while, scout out the narrow alleyway with its entrance flanked by Buddhas. It leads to the garden in the back of Wa, a shop that sells aromatherapy, incense, soaps, candles, fountains, chimes, and everything else that can put you in a Zen state. The little garden is an often-overlooked oasis filled with sculptures, wind chimes, and soothing music that will soon have you refreshed and ready to rejoin the carnival that is Commercial Street.
