What's a three-snake day? One: a really cool-looking big water snake (probably a Northern Water Snake) in the Miles River (brackish) while we were visiting the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Two: a somewhat familiar (and smaller) water snake not too far from the first. Three: a little garter snake gorging herself (?) on crickets in our hosts' basement.
Yes, it was that good of a day. Boats, boat-building, snakes -- it sometimes doesn't get much better than that! (Oh, and they had a reasonably-priced Aubrey/Maturin that I was looking for!)
