Tuesday, September 4 -- Rock Hall






Brooke left early on Labor Day to go back to Denver. My brother, Carter, and his wife, Cindy, joined us for a lovely, but hot, afternoon. On Tuesday, September 4, we sailed back to Rock Hall for a few days. Met a couple from Montreal on Manouche, Robert and Danielle, who joined us in a day of site-seeing and shopping in Chestertown and Easton.

In Chestertown, we had lunch at the Imperial Hotel, an old, elegant hotel where Mike had the best oyster and corn chowder he had ever had--Mike, Danielle and Robert are pictured above in front of the hotel. We then drove to Easton, another lovely town where we splurged on ice cream at a place called Rita's. Had dinner the next evening at Bay Wolf, an Austrian/seafood restaurant, in Rock Hall where the food is delicious.

Coming back to Annapolis from Rock Hall, we were thrilled to see the Pride of Baltimore (pictured above), a beautiful old tour boat, as it was sailing near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.

Our next visitor was an old schoolmate and dear friend, Joan Higbee, who spent an afternoon with us. A little later, Mike and I visited her in Ellicott City, Maryland. She's been restoring a beautiful old house located on three acres on a hill just up from the town. Joan has hopes of its becoming a B & B with its proximity to the popular town below. She's well on her way.
