Delaware border.
Wonderful side trip to Assateague national preserve. Wild horses and deer. Salt marshes and ocean dunes. Worth looking up on web. Better to visit. Island is accessed by bike pedestrian bridge.
The day started off perfectly with good pancakes and country ham; just right, not too salty. Then a ride towards the ocean with the side trip to Assateague.
Lovely ride to Ocean City. Decided to stop here as there is a new Hilton (at a low price as this is off season). Glad we chose this place. Laundry just down the hall and a place called Higgins across the street. Apparently the best place for crabs, according to the other patrons we met there.
Maryland blue crabs, medium size. They are sold by the dozen and size. The ones pictured were $55 a dozen and were a full meal for the two of us; well that and a beer.
