TOURING CAPE MAY

Our bus rolled off the ferry and onto Cape May.
The driver drove just a few blocks to the
Emlen Physick Museum pictured below.
Half of us boarded the trolley for the
trip around town to look at the
Victorian homes.

I took pictures of many of the homes but I will only post a few.

The one architectural feature I liked was the

Gingerbread and white picket fences.

The hotel pictured below was once a very dark Victorian color.
Someone bought it and painted the whole structure white
and added the brightly colored awnings.
The back of this building goes around the corner. It is
probably the biggest building in town.

The typical Victorian house is normally painted with dark
foreboding colors. But for the sake of business, they
have painted some in bright colors. I especially liked
this yellow one with the blue shutters.

The guides said that the houses that are built there now
are required to be built higher in case of a flood.
They mentioned that so many times that it was as though
they are expecting a tsunami or something.

After the trolley tour we were taken back to the
Emlen Physick Museum. No photography was allowed
inside the building. I wanted to say,
"DON'T YOU KNOW I AM A BLOGGER!"
