Passing a little church along the way...the old colonial churches are charming!

We are traveling up the St. Mary's River, to St. Mary's, MD. We'll be anchoring in Horseshoe Bend for a couple of nights.

We took the dinghy to St. Mary's College sailing center and then got off for a short walk to the campus. The College is a public honors college - a liberal arts school - one of the tops in the nation. The campus was very nice with many colonial touches.

Not the Seattle Seahawks, but the St. Mary's College Seahawks.
We went to the campus market for a few basic provisions which included a snack for Ron.

The Ark and the Dove were two ships that first landed colonists in Maryland. A replica of the Dove is docked at the foot of the hill of the historic village.
Another campus building - the Calvert building.

Azaleas, mums and other flora all blossoming at the same time!

This is the replica of The Dove. It is AMAZING to us the stamina, dedication and determination early colonists had to travel 90+ days enroute to the new land on these sizes and types of ships.
We have been blessed with exquisite sunsets. And, the days and nights are getting cooler...
