We checked out Rehoboth beach today. The usual seaside ware was on disply but it did seem a bit brighter than I was used to. The shops along the beachfront are all very quaint and painted in bright beach colours. The boardwalk on the beach was really impressive. A wide expansive area with a grassy edge. Athena took loads of pics of me in various crazy poses. I think the highlight of today was meeting "Miss Delaware State". She was working in one of the clothes boutiques next to the beach and still had her sash on from winning the competition. What a contrast between the pair of us - she being tanned, petite and dainty looking - me a big, pasty, guffawing english girl!
We ate some corndogs and got some passport photos done at a photobooth. Although when they were developed they turned out to be in black and white and as we'd pulled ridiculous faces the photos now looked oddly staged. On our trip back to DC that evening, we stopped for crabcakes at some chain restaurant. I don't remember the name. The Redskins were playing against the Philly Eagles and surprisingly the Redskins won! Athena said this was highly unusual so I like to think that me buying a Redskins belt down at the beach gave them some luck and had a little to do with their victory.
