The Chesapeake bay bridge tunnel is an engineering marvel. 17. 3 miles long, cyclists prohibited. Virginia runs a shuttle.
To get to the tunnel there was a windy ride along the Atlantic and then the shores of the bay.
Four lane highway with a good wide shoulder. Many fireworks, rockets, cheap cigarettes, bacon, and hams for sale. The pic is not nearly the lowest price.
Today's food highlights included, appart from the large steamed shrimp -again, were the sweet potato buscuits (excellent) and the pulled pork on a Kaiser roll. One does not bring up beef BBQ in the part of the South.
Speaking of food and pork and hams leads to many questions. We saw Felton's ham in a burlap bag, bacon without vacuum packing (tourists need killing?), and then there is Virginia Ham, Parma Ham, Honey Baked, and so many other kinds, some smoked, some air dried. How is one to choose? Which kinds are legal to make in the US?
