Apr 22 - Outing to Gwynn Island and Deltaville, VA

 We decided to head over to the coast today and explore.  Fist, we went over to Gwynn Island--a quaint little fishing island, that used to be big in the fishing and oyster industry, but in recent years, has had a big decline.  Now, it seems that all of the shoreline, around the entire island, is private property, and doesn't allow you to enter.  The only inviting place was the little restaurant right at the bridge, that catered to land and sea folks.  It looked fairly new, and the food was really good.
  Then, we drove over to another town on the coast.  All of the coastline has lots inlets, big and little.  This town, Deltaville, had a Maritime Museum, which was interesting, and fairly well done, for such a small town.  On the museum grounds was a very nice "statue garden and walk". 
  Again, no public shore areas.  I am used to there being town beaches, or town or State parks along the coast. 
   Came back, and read, walked, hung out by the water.  Caught up with my blogging, and sent the vegans some of my vegetarian seitan recipes, along with a link to Aimee's blog.  Beautiful weather today.
