Yesterday we arrived in Wilmington near 4, unloaded, and went to explore the town. It’s very old, quaint, and cute, with an interesting mix of history, dive bars, beach town, and artistic vibes. We walked along the waterfront and ate a huge platter of all kinds of shell fish – delicious. When we left it was pouring like crazy and we ran from one awning to another, but still ended up hopelessly wet. Eva took a pretty hard spill on a stone step but took it like a champ. We headed over to a haunted pub crawl and it really sucked. The tour guide was wasted and encouraged us to catch up to him, and he told a bunch of lame ghost stories in loud bars. I suppose that’s what I should have expected, but I was hoping for something way more scary. At one point we ditched the group to get shots and play fuBboll, and that ended up being the most fun we had all night. After the tour ended we went to a bar to play pool, and then headed in for the night.
This morning we got up early, went out to breakfast, and spent a few hours at the beach. The water was freezing but the beach was deserted. It was lovely. Next stop: Charleston!
