Off-Centered Travels for Off-Centered People

Ahh, what can you say about the rural, rustic towns of North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland? Corn and lots of it. Wednesday was a day of rain-sprinkled, mundane travel through three states, but we did get a brief respite on a short butterfly trail filled with fragrant Honeysuckle, ripening wild berries, and vibrant orange blossoms. A highlight of the drives was the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, a diving serpent in the sea. Cars go from riding on a bridge to descending into a tunnel in the bay to rising out of the ocean like the Kraken. Our sole goal for the day was the destruction and pillaging of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. A quaint, coastal town with the distinction of being home to the Dogfish Head Brewpub. Dogfish Head makes, "Off-centered beer for off-centered people," - so I felt right at home. Stouts, brown ales, IPA's, Coconut beer, and Ancient Ales - I felt like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory. What's on tap for Thursday? Cooperstown, NY and the baseball hall of fame.
