Eastern Shore Oct. 2


Day 9

Hiked 2 miles

Woke to rain (as predicted but we've essentially avoided it so far this trip). After breakfast, things cleared a bit so we took a hike on a Nature Trail to the sound side of the island. It was wet and very buggy. I forgot to mention all the warnings about bugs in all the campgrounds we've been on so far: “Mosquitoes can be a problem; netting and repellent are recommended”. And they're not kidding:



The rain returned and we spent most of the day lazing around inside, reading (me) and snoozing (not me). It did brighten enough for a beach walk along the rolling waves and a few intrepid fishermen. 


Everything is damp, but all the birds are enjoying it (including the Mockingbirds, Cardinals, Thrasher, Ibis and out-of-place shorebirds which surround us):







Here's the bunny view from my chair (actually from inside; it was still raining):
