Off the island

Today's journey to Atlantic City was interrupted in Lewes, Delaware. While we waited for the ferry to Cape May, we took a look at the Zwaanendael museum (Dutch heritage). Lewes was apparently the first city in the first state (to join the US of A). The museum recounts a bit of the history of this early port.


Right across (kitty-corner) is this monstrosity. Built in the spirit of the early Victorian homes along the shore, this one is a gawd-awful shade of purple. Ouch!


We waited for the ferry in this modern, bright terminal.


The cheese wagon (white minivan on the right) occupied what looked to be a promising place for a quick exit. Unfortunately, everyone in the lines to the left left the boat first. My bet centered on the center, but in no way did I guess the rights of the right would be left behind.


The "Coasties" accompanied us on a training mission, zipping around, blowing horns, and generally wasting fuel.


It's always nice to have a machine gun around when you need one. Fortunately, no one attacked.
