I've lived in the DC area since 1990 but last week was my first trip to the quaint beachside town of Lewes, DE. It's like a dose of New England in the Mid-Atlantic.
A great place to eat - Striper Bites. Seems that Ty Pennington went there when he was in town.
The infamous Cannonball House. It was built in 1760 and acquired its accessory in 1813.
A church - birdhouse.
A duck nestled among the clams. There were two flanking the entry and they made me smile - credit where credit is due.
Even though we go to Bethany Beach every summer, I have never been to Lewes but once in 40 years! I must go and soak in the ambiance. It looks like a darling town.

The third picture really says NE to me = working shutters with differcnt designs on the top and bottom windows. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI always spent time in Lewes when I was in Dewey Beach for the greyhound gathering each spring. It is such a wonderful little town ... and very dog friendly.
ReplyDeleteWow, that place looks amazing, very relaxing!

Thank you for posting! I'm always looking for something in the mid-Atlantic that will remind me of home, New England.
