Market Day in Berlin

With fresh radishes and so many other vegetables on display, who would refuse the opportunity to stop by the farmer's market in Berlin? Evidently, the people in town agree, because this place was bustling with customers. Kellie Voisine (above) was hardly able to spare a moment to talk to us between purchases.

Road Trip: Wrap-up in Dover

Our stay in Dover, Delaware was full of many events from a historic lantern tour to a local bazaar; it was a gambit of events that truly highlighted the gems of this small capital city.

Lantern Tour on the Green

Dover's history involves interesting events such as a murder by chocolate and the overnight ride of Caesar Rodney to Philadelphia to make Delaware the first state...things we did not know about until this telling tour.

Road Trip: Day 7, Island by the name of Smith

Off the coast of Maryland, deep in the waters of the Chesapeake, sits an island that goes by the name of Smith. Accessible only by ferry, this place is a reminder of the life of fishermen's days gone by.

Road Trip: Day 4, Wacha-Prauge? and Good Samaritans

Leaving Salisbury, Maryland, Melanie and I aimed the Volvo due south for the tip of the Delmarva Peninsula with hopes of dipping our toes in Chesapeake right where it meets the great Atlantic.

Route 13 is one of the must-use arteries running down Virginia's Eastern Shore. Shooting straight down the spine of the area that's only five miles at it's widest point, this little highway connects the small towns and villages that dot this fairly-untouched land.
