I think I could live here :) |
The docks are very long as the area between the homes and the water is marshy with some sort of grass... we call them tules but I think there is a local name for this type of swamp grass. |
The first night in Georgetown, we rode our bikes to a local event at the Kominski Mansion, sitting under huge shade trees, and listened to a concert from the Long Bay Youth Orchestra. It was almost surreal to look out on the ICW, listening to classical music and watching the leaves rustle above us in the gentle breeze. You couldn't ask for a more glorious day.
We docked at the Harborwalk Marina which is literally right in the historic district and walking distance to several small, local museums... a Rice Museum and a maritime museum, as well as the Kominski Home museum.
The south is so genteel... I appreciated taking a break from shopping at all the cute little shops! |
Harborwalk has very nice slips and restrooms, laundry facilities and they sell ice. The grocery store is about 1.5 miles away. It is right downtown near some nice restaurants and delis. Many boats are anchored out in the harbor and dinghy in to the docks to visit town.
Today is Cinco de Mayo so we are celebrating with margaritas and fajitas for dinner! We don't have a blender so, fortunately, we found these which work just great! Now, where is that shaker of salt?
