A Moveable Feast

Monday 23 April
Ann and David put us up at the Spencer Silver Mansion, where we had a hearty breakfast thanks to our hostess Carol. Then another wonderful, never-to-be-forgotten day of sailing (sometimes sailing away from the Army patrol boat warning us off of the Aberdeen Proving Grounds--mysterious booms and puffs of brown smoke). Before the drive back to Philadelphia, we stopped back at the Tidewater Grille for several dozen local oysters (their coats were brushed, their faces washed, their shoes were clean and neat). Magnificent, sweet with just a hint of salt, especially good with ice-cold beer. Alas, we may be spoiled for mere Bluepoints from now on. Back in Philadelphia, the feast continued with Ann and David's salad and pasta with a particularly creamy pesto.
Thanks, Ann and David, for a weekend we still dream about!
