Today was supposed to be our day to head home to Cape Cod, but we’re enjoying this area so much that we’ve decided to stay two more nights. The weather is perfect, the beaches are empty, the water is warm, the waves are clean and tubular, and there are some good bike trials along Assateague Island National Seashore that need to be ridden…and oh yeah, I need more crab too!
So we started the day by packing up our campsite in Maryland since we’ll be returning to Cape Henlopen for the next two nights. Saying our goodbyes to Wendy and Carl, we were on the road by 10:15 AM.
Our first stop was in Snow Hill where we picked up a muffin and a sticky bun at the local bakeries. Next we headed back to Assateague Island National Seashore where took a ten mile ride along the path, checking out future campsites in both the national and state parks, and searching for wild ponies…we saw a bunch!
We continued onward to Cape Henlopen, stopping in nearby Lewes, where Joni browsed the shops while I took advantage of the strong and free WiFi and updated this blog. We ultimately arrived at our campsite in the state park around 4:30 PM.
For dinner we returned to “Striper Bites” in Lewes and had a wonderful meal. Linguini with homemade sausage and a blended Cote du Rhone for Joni, and shrimp with jalapeno cheddar grits with Dogfish 60 IPA for me.
For those who are wondering this was a crabless day for me, but I have no complaints.
You should get Joni a pony while you're down there. The beaches and parks look great. Will look to see you by Thanksgiving.

Forwarded these to my friend Nancy. She lived the ponies, esp the brown and white one.
