Day 390 – 391
By Tuesday, 10/05/21, the copious meds I’d obtained from the ER in Chestertown, MD, began to work in earnest. Hallelujah! 🙂 After a leisurely morning aboard, we climbed off of Legacy at her tie-up at Cambridge Yacht Basin Oasis Marina, walked down the dock piers, and into downtown Cambridge proper. The air was humid and the temps were higher than normal, but the skies began to cloud-up early, which moderated the heat some.
We walked through town, admiring the huge, stately Sycamore trees that lined the streets and graced the front yards of the many historic homes of Cambridge. We walked to Snapper’s Restaurant, on Commerce Street, as recommended the day before, by our harbor master. As we ate outside, but under cover, we saw that storms were popping up in the area. Of course we’d forgotten to bring our umbrellas, so we knew that was a sure sign we’d get rained on before we got back to our boat. 😐 After lunch, we walked back as quickly as we could, considering the distance was almost a mile. We did get sprinkled on, but thankfully made it onto the boat before the bottom fell out of the skies.
We further explored the sleepy streets of downtown Cambridge on Wednesday, 10/06/21, in better weather. I took my obligatory pictures of the area’s historic church buildings, before we stopped at highly-reviewed Carmela’s Cucina for an Italian late lunch/early dinner. Although signs inside the cozy little eatery advertised wines for sale, turns out we were there on the day before they received their weekly wine shipment, so the only wine available that day was a very sweet Moscato wine, which would not pair well with pizza, so we settled for water instead. Turns out the pizza was so delicious, we didn’t at all mind the absence of our afternoon cocktail. YUM!
