…I love searching for small-town USA when I visit America. Delaware City is one of the best. You can park up where the road finishes at the water’s edge. You can picnic in the park. Walk around the boats. Take in the sun while enjoying a beer and have fresh cooked food in the Delaware Hotel. Watch the ships pass by. No parking fee or limit on your stay. Lovely folks too. I cant drive past without a visit.

GarryRF reminds us that everyplace we travel has more to it than we’re likely to know without going!

I agree with Garry. Exploring small town America is tops! I love a few days in the big cities but feel at home in its small towns. Have yet to visit Delaware City but will check it out next time I’m in that part of the country. Imagine they have good crab?
Great post Garry! Good to see Delaware City in the spotlight today.
Delaware City has only one set of traffic lights – how’s that for small ! I only get crab when visiting the family in the US. Not here in the UK. I’ve had crab from Delaware – Chesapeake – Rehoboth Beach (Hooters) down to Ocean City Maryland. All gorgeous and worth waiting for. I’ve learned to say “These are the best ever” because that’s what the locals say. Best Pizza – Best Crab-cakes – Best Chilli Fries. When my son was working his way through University he worked the late shift in a Crab-house. When they closed up around midnight he had to put the unsold crab-cakes in the trash. So I had 3 or 4 brought home in a doggy bag. Now they were good !! ( They were good for 3 days)
