Daytripping along the Eastern Shore

                     

Sailboat on the Tred Avon River

Exploring the quaint waterfront towns on the Eastern Shore this week as the summer crowds have retreated and the cool autumn air stimulates our wandering urge once again.  Living between the beaches and the bay provides us with hundreds of miles of shoreline, farmland and small historic towns from which to choose.  Our destination this week, St. Micheal's, included a stop for lunch on Tilghman Island, taking the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry which is believed to be the nation's oldest privately operated ferry service, and talking with the shipwrights at work in the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.  Of course, no visit to St. Micheal's is complete without an icy treat from Justines.
