Monday was a much warmer day than had been forecast so we took advantage of this for a trip over the Bay Bridge to St Michael's which is a gorgeous sleepy little town with a vast marina. Its famous for its fresh crabs, so with Spark logic...we had pizza! It was damn fine pizza! We sat in the open windows of this little restaurant on the main street and watched the world go by against a backdrop of shady trees and wooden houses with large verandas and rockers on the porch. It was very beautiful. It was also very quiet! I don't think people put their boats in the water until the end on May, so there were only a handful of folks milling about.
We were reminded of why we didn't love our Sat Nav - or Sat Nag as we've renamed her. Aside from constantly trying to route us through the centre of DC as opposed to using the Beltway ("Please make a U turn now" is a constant refrain), she was happily trying to work out a detour because the Bay Bridge had mild traffic congestion. Now, there is a lot of coast and water out that way...our options were basically a 300 mile detour, hope that we'd booked an amphibious vehicle instead of a car, or to sit in the traffic jam...which turned out to be on the other side of the road anyway!!
