Another perfect day on the water and even wore sweatshirts for big part of the trip. We are in Chestertown and it's another charming little town (5,000+) on the Upper Eastern Shore of Maryland that is rich in history and founded in 1706. It is home to Washington College, the nation's first chartered college founded in 1782
We came 53 miles today from our anchorage and plan to stay 2 nights here. I've checked out the downtown (and liked what I saw......) We were here last year by truck and had lunch at the Evergrain Bread Company. I stopped there while I was out and about and had an iced chai latte. Short time later, I ran into Mark and he was having some chocolate gelato.

Beautiful crepe myrtle bush
Love these trees and bushes in all their varying shades of pink!
Got the bikes off the boat late this afternoon and hit the trail (nicely paved 1.6 miles thru woods and open land). The ole legs need some good exercising as it's been awhile.
We had salads tonight (lettuce and other veggies + chicken salad + watermelon and then to our first
ever ukulele concert in a nearby park. Katie played the cello and Victoria, the ukulele for almost 2 hours. Not exactly our type of music, but a new experience. Lots of people came with their lawn chairs, blankets, etc. and enjoyed this unique music, lemonade and cookies.
Katie and Victoria
God bless those innocent passengers and crew who died in the horrific Malaysian plane crash.
