This seems to be our adage the last few stops we've made. All small towns...and we LOVE it!! There is a special feel to a small town (the locals all know you are not from around there), everyone says "hello!", they are proud of their towns and usually recommend a few "must-see" places, and there is no traffic, resulting in few people. The only downfall we have encountered is few restaurant options open during the week (in some spots) and grocery stores can be a car ride away. Not convenient for us with only our legs or bikes to get us around. However, most larger towns have Uber, taxi service is usually available but not always reliable and we've had some marinas offer a car for an hour at a time. We also plan for this and always have plenty of food on our boat.
We spent two lovely days in an adorable town called Onancock, Virginia, with a whooping population of 1,500. Onancock is located on the Chesapeake Bay on the Eastern shore. The towns harbor was once where steamboats carried passengers to and from Baltimore, Maryland and Norfolk, Virginia.
Onancock is located up the Onancock creek, off the Chesapeake Bay, about 4 miles long with gorgeous homes along the waterfront. The town is loaded with Victorian homes, lots of beautiful trees, neat little shops and a tasty bakery, also with some bars and restaurants and a few antique stores to get lost in. We even enjoyed a movie at the local single screen Roseland movie theatre built in 1950. All this was within walking distance, what a treat this was for us!!

| I love all these historic towns and homes. |

| Crocket and I went for a walk and we decided we could live in any of these houses!! hehe! |
 |
| We enjoyed two meals here at The Mallard restaurant (which used to be the towns general store), located steps from our boat...literally. |
