Historic New Castle

On our way back from a doctor's visit in Wilmington a while back we stopped in historic New Castle which we just love.  What a little treasure of an area along the Delaware.  And hey, William Penn is thought to have landed there way back when.  But what about the indiginous folks who lived there even before that?  I always try to imagine what it may have looked like to them.  Or even further back before people. 

This time visiting historic New Castle we tried lunch at a different pub.  So far so good.  Two pubs.  Too fun.  

Then we walked about. 

This time we found a Sea Witching Tree.  We love the whole sea witch thing.  We loved the Sea Witch Parade in Rehobeth Beach around Halloween which is what led us to the contra marching bands and the Mummer's Parade in Philly on New Years.  I love pulling threads that lead from one adventure to another. 

I think we will copy this idea and I'll use some of our drift wood and found items to do some sea witching around our back yard and trees.  Could be fun.  Let's use some creative energy.

I love me some good alleyways. This one is nice 
and vintage. 

One of the homes in the area.  I love me some nice porches.  
The upstairs one is a definite bonus.

And below are some somewhat boring views of the Delaware River in the vicinity where William Penn is thought to have landed. Friends who have piloted a Dupont family yacht all over the world in years past said the Delaware River is maybe the most boring boat trip they've ever had as far as scenery.   We will eventually do it and even if it isn't scenic, we will appreciate it as it will add to our knowledge and experience of the area.
