Back on the road, after packing up camp, Melanie and I were in search of two valuable commodities... wi-fi and a place to rest our heads for the night.

The first of those was needed (for the obvious reason) to update you kind readers on our travels, so we moved on over to the near by town of Rehoboth. Wi-Fi was found in a cup of coffee from the resident Starbucks, though it wasn't Starbucks internet. (Hint: If you tuck yourself back close to the mall, you can use the mall's internet. It's conveniently free, opposed to AT&T's and Starbucks corporate hold on usage, and it's relatively fast.)

We sat down in the back corner, snuck in a bagel from Grub Grocery next door, had breakfast and typed our first day's adventures, while looking for our next destination.

Hearing there was much to do in and around Salisbury, and having a free bed there, we decided that this would be our next stop. We packed up our electronic devices, paid our parking ticket that the Rehoboth parking authority graciously left us, and started southwest to the "Crossroads of Delmarva."

In our many travels thus far, one museum kept creeping up into our conversation, but it was always just outside of our radar in Salisbury; the most comprehensive collection of wildfowl carvings in the world, the Ward Museum of Wildfowl Art.

Honestly, the idea of wooden birds sitting behind glass seemed a bit drab and overly boring. I imagined a barn, crunching down on the hay that lined the floor, walls decorated with faded, flat decoys; spiders drawing their silk across shelves and over the art. The reality of this museum, however, is quite the opposite.

The Ward Museum offers an insight on where this unique (once utilitarian) art form came from; the past life of hunting decoys into its present of beautiful life-like master pieces.

The Champions' Gallery, where our tour culminated, houses a very well put together exhibit of world-wide winners. Interpretative pieces carved out single logs of mahogany, or out of tree trunks found in farmer's field, the museum truly has a significant aura of beauty.

With the sun still in the sky, but a storm brewing in the distance, we quickly headed to the Salisbury Zoo just up the road. A curious little space that seems a bit out of place, this zoo pulls it off well with the local parks that surround it.

With an afternoon stroll through, you can get close to adorable otters showing off their swimming skills or skittish red wolves which are now considered critically endangered. You may see three-toed sloth swinging like a child on a set of monkey bars.

Our day's adventure ended at Vinny's La Roma, a small Italian joint off of route 13 next to a Taco Bell. The delicious calzone and cheap cold Yuenglings readied us for a good nights sleep in a bed.

Pro Tips:

The Ward Museum admission is $7 dollars for adults and less for children and seniors.

The Zoo is donation based, but a small handout allows the animals need to eat!!

The two facilities are right down the street from each other, make a day of it! Maybe pack a lunch to have in the park next to the zoo.
