If you look at the map, faithful readers may notice that I am back in an area I’ve been before.
There’s Chincoteague and Assateague down there in the South. My last stop of the day was just east of Salisbury, so I figured that I might as well head over to the shore for the night.
I used one of those booking apps and found a hotel that was probably an elegant location back in the day. It was going to be fine for the night. After getting settled in room #2 – the first room they put me in didn’t have functioning air conditioning – I set out in search of dinner.
Just down the road, I found the 45th Street Taphouse Bar & Grill. The big attraction for me was that they had a patio facing the bayside, and I would be able to watch the sunset.
What a lovely evening!
I perused the menu and settled on the Caprese Salad. This is what I had in mind, photo courtesy of The Food Network:
Doesn’t that look refreshing and delicious?
Unfortunately, this is what I was served:
Oh, well… it was edible and it would keep body and soul together. I considered sending it back, but who knows if anything on their menu was better. Besides, I was there for the sunset.
After nibbling on my salad and nursing my water for a long time, the sun finally started going down.
And down…
and down…
sill going…
Just the tiniest sliver left above the horizon.
Finally, it was gone.
And so was I. Back to my room to get rested up for another day on the road.
