Looks like another tasty trip.

If you go back, check out Beavertail State Park on Jamestown.

Thank you for a wonderful report. My grandmother was one of those immigrants that met at 40 steps!

Thanks emalloy - we have been there in the past and decided to skip it this trip. It is a beautiful waterfront park that I am sure everyone would enjoy.

inakauaidavidababy - I bet your grandmother had some interesting stories to tell.

she worked for Dr Rice at Miramar in the kitchen. She never laid eyes on her employer. She was never a very good cook but always insisted on overcooking green beans with baking soda to retain their color. She would go to the 40 steps to find news of the old country/ Ireland
