On Wednesday, August 5, Jane and Su toured Historic St. Mary's City which is one of America's best-preserved colonial archaeology sites. The town became the colonial capital of Maryland in 1634 when two ships arrived with 140 colonists led by Lord Baltimore. The colony was the first place in British North America to mandate religious toleration. Today the site includes the Woodland Indian Hamlet, Town Center, Chapel Field, State House, and The Maryland Dove -- a re-creation of a 17th century square-rigged ship used to transport supplies from England and coastal trade.

After walking the site, we drove down near Point Lookout and had lunch at Courtney's Restaurant & Seafood in Ridge, MD. The crab was excellent; however, nothing has changed inside for 30 years!!
