We’re still in Cape May, Delaware. We came in Wednesday after
traveling from Annapolis. The light house in the water is on
the Ship John Shoal light on the Delaware Bay. It interesting
to see so many lighthouses on the Bays and know they have been
there since the mid 1800’s. I would have liked to have seen
them constructed.
The land based lighthouse is on the southernmost shore of New
Jersey in Cape May. The beaches here are beautiful and white
sand and miles long along the town of Cape May.
This town has been a Victorian surprise. If you like
gingerbread and multi colored paint schemes this is the place.
A dear friend of ours joined us Thursday afternoon from
Columbia, SC, Jan Ziegler. We all enjoyed walking through the
town seeing all the beautiful homes. Many are Bed and
Breakfast Inns. This is truly an old resort town for folks
from Philadelphia, Wilmington and other surrounding big cities
to spend their summers at the beach and cooler. One of the
pictures you see is from Jackson Street. I’m afraid the photo
won’t do the colors and architecture justice.
We plan to move to Beach Haven, New Jersey tomorrow where we
will leave the boat and come home for the Memorial Day week
end.
