We're Back!
Linda and I had a very nice time toodling around the Eastern Shore, Tilghman Island was the only sore point, (which I'll get to in a later post). St. Michael's was very nice, it'd probably been close to ten years since we were last there, and I think it's grown. Quite a few nice little shops and bistros.
One of the best places was Chestertown - very cute town. An old co-worker of mine, Tom Martin, now runs a neat used bookstore there called BookPlate. All sorts of tomes were for sale; a lot of signed copies and first editions, as well as the cheaper political stuff beloved by yours truly, (I picked up books by C. Wright Mills and Mike Harrington, as well as titles dealing with American folklore and a history of American diplomacy during the Revolution). Tom also sells beautiful Spanish and Armenian ceramics in the shop, hence the name. A great place to hang out, I heartily recommend it and the town for a weekend getaway. (BookPlate is at 112 South Cross Street in downtown Chestertown, and the phone number is 410-778-4167, Tom can give you directions.)
