Girls' Guide To The Eastern Shore
Kessler Burnett on shopping, dining, and dishing on the Shore.
Farewell, Summer
I am one of those gals who regards a tent as a torture devise. To me, it’s just another four-letter word used as an expression of distress and frustration. But there are other ways to enjoy the great outdoors on the Shore—ways that don’t involve being domed in nylon, lying on rocks, and digging holes in the ground for a toilet. I recently spent Labor Day weekend on the Shore reveling in the great outdoors. Friday before sunset, I took at 15-mile bike ride (see http://www.tourtalbot.org/PDFs/talbot_county_bicycle_map.pdf) through the back roads of Talbot County, blaring the likes of Glen Campbell and Mel McDaniel on my iPod to serenade my pure-country experience. Oxford’s public tennis courts are a great place to swing a racquet. On Saturday, I played three sets of doubles—and won. One of the good things about the venue is that there isn’t a dress code, which is why my partner was able to wear his pink swim trunks, green polo shirt, and knee-high socks without being asked to leave… although that might have been a good idea… On Saturday night, I attended a barbecue at a nearly 300-year-old manor home outside of Tunis Mills, where I mc’ed a rousing game of red light/green light on the back lawn for the kids under the hot light of a full, harvest moon.
