Cape May


The Congress Hall Inn. Originally built in 1816, this is its third incarnation after burning down twice. Unsurprisingly they're not enthusiastic about guests lighting candles in the rooms.


View from the rocking chair on our balcony.


Sunset Beach, littered with fabled "Cape May diamonds," which I was disappointed to learn are actually mere quartz pebbles. No monetary value whatsoever!


Wreckage of the S.S. Atlantus, an experimental concrete ship which its builders were surprised to discover didn't float very well.


The Southern Mansion, right profile.


Typical ice cream colored house on Washington St.


The Cape May lighthouse.
