I’m a little behind on blogging - for the last couple of days I haven’t had much of an internet connection, even with my phone app. So here’s a catch-up blog.
Sunday we drove down south and explored for one last time. The Cove Point Lighthouse was open this time so we went in - couldn’t climb up in the lighthouse which was disappointing, but it has an open spiral staircase and they can’t afford the insurance to let folks up there. It would have been a beautiful view!
Monday we packed up and drove across the Bay Bridge to the Eastern Shore. The bridge was amazing - the photo doesn’t really show how high and long it is because the major part of it curves away. Didn’t get here in time to do any sightseeing so chilled out for the evening. This RV park has cable TV so Gary was enjoying himself!.
Tuesday we went to Easton and St. Michael’s - two very picturesque old towns with a family connection. The weather forecast was for rain all day - and they were right. Alternated between sprinkles and downpours but we managed to get a lot done anyway. Found the cemetery in Easton where my Tydings great-grandparents are buried before the rain started. Both Easton and St. Michael’s are very interesting towns - wish we could have walked around, taken more photos and soaked up more of the atmosphere. We did manage to get quite a bit of souvenir shopping done both places and had a delicious lunch at Harrison’s on Tilghman Island - tried both kinds of crab soup (tomato-based and cream-based) and something we had never seen anywhere else - cheese and apple butter on crackers (it was very good!) By the time we got back to our RV, it was an absolute typhoon so we were glad to hunker down all evening. Today we are moving on again, to the Ocean City MD area on the coast.
