"This town was beautiful.....i could have spent my whole trip there.
I spent hours driving around it and playing on the beach near Center Island. I met two boys who couldn't have been older then 7....they were building these huge forts out of the sand trying to trap something....I asked them if I could see....and the willingly showed me their treasure......Three Horseshoe crabs. They went into painful detail about how they mate, what they eat, and why they were digging in the sand.
The youngest boy with blue stuff on his face told me that he named one "OREO but i could name it anything i wanted really." I dug for my own treasures and brought back a vile of sand, a seagull feather and a handful of broken shells. I went to a diner and the waitress asked me why I was in town....I told her about my plan and the painting and she looked at me funny....(nervous laugh.) I went to my car and brought back the painting...she Loved it....and then produced a writing pad and wrote down directions to a house Billy used to live in....in case it helped me with me adventure.
I got terribly lost and my salad was soggy."
