Considered the second largest peninsula la bottega miami of the U.S., second in size only to the peninsula of Florida, the Delmarva Peninsula is a huge piece of land, with about just over 14,000 km2 and is bordered on the west side by the Delaware River, la bottega miami Delaware Bay and bathed by the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay at the eastern side.
Despite the name Delmarva, mean short for Delaware, Maryland, la bottega miami and Virginia, the three states that make up the peninsula. On this trip we then concentrate on only in the states of Delaware la bottega miami and Maryland. More specifically focused in the latter, the portion known as the Eastern Shore of Maryland, ie on the eastern shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
Tell the way, the Maryland Eastern Shore is considered one of the 10 most beautiful scenic routes in the U.S.. And this is due in large part to the numerous historic towns along the way, but mainly to the large number of coves, bays, rivers and canals interlinked by the waters of the Chesapeake Bay, which in turn is the largest estuary in the U.S..
We started our journey from Newark, Delaware. The friendly university town where it is based and the University of Delaware where we reside from May this year. Follow toward Elkton, already in Maryland, where then took Route 213 towards Chesapeake City, our first stop of the day.
Arriving at Chesapeake City, crossed the impressive bridge (super high) built at the beginning of the last century on the Delaware-Chesapeake Canal. We visited the friendly Chesapeake City for the first time in 2010, during a happy hour with friends in the city pier. Since then I have never had back there. la bottega miami
Known as "City Channel" or the city Canal, Chesapeake City is cut by an artificial canal completed in 1829 and connects the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays. With the construction of this canal / waterway about 15 miles long, the vessels would trip between Baltimore and Wilmington / Philadelphia for example, saving a turn around the tip of the Delmarva Peninsula. la bottega miami Ie, about 300 miles south and another 300 miles to the north. (Actually a peninsula Delmarva Peninsula and is no longer turned island .. But anyway ....)
Chesapeake City itself, consists of a tiny town of only 787 inhabitants, consisting of several old colonial houses, many of which now have been converted into "Bed and Breakfest". Also, has a warehouse, and some bars and restaurants facing the Marina. For there is also the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal Museum. A museum which houses a fine collection of memorabilia from the time of construction of the canal. la bottega miami
With luck, you can see barges being pulled by tugboats and freighters midrange crossing the placid waters of the canal. At the time we arrived, about 7:30 in the morning there was a lady fishing on the edge of the pier and at the time we approach she hooked a fish. Betara looked like a fish that used to fish when I was younger in Sao Francisco do Sul
Continuing trip down Route 213 toward Chestertown, past forests, hills, old farmhouses surrounded by corn fields and horse breeding. Farms that they date from the mid-seventeenth century, when English farmers had their plantations of tobacco, corn and wheat, and used their profits to build real houses and amused themselves with their race horses hunting foxes in the region. (We have a couple la bottega miami at home with 2-3 pups).
Along the way, we passed several colonial towns to molds Chesapeake City, as Georgetown, Locust Grove and Kennedyville. Just as some inlets that feed the Chesapeake Bay. Later, at the entrance to Chestertown arrived at an imposing set of buildings exposed brick known as Washington la bottega miami College. (Homage to the first U.S. president, who visited the place in 1784 and donated 50 guineas ($ $ at the time) for their creation).
Moving forward, we came to Chestertown, the city more friendly in my opinion all in our trip this weekend. With characteristic architecture of the 18th century, tree-lined streets, la bottega miami manicured gardens and a hostel with over two centuries of history.
Speaking of history, near the customs building in w
