Scenes from Tangier III





Today we take a look at Tangier's version of my dream home:  an over-the-water hut known as a crab shanty.












(I call them crab shacks, but don't listen to me.)










They're also Tangier Island's version of the man cave.





Man Caves.  They're not just for men anymore,
at least not on Tangier.
(Click on the image.)










Actually, this is the one I want, complete with covered front porch and festive decor.















This is where the watermen come to escape from the tourists 
monitor the crab shedding process.




















They remind me of the over-the-water huts I pine for 
in my never-to-be-taken trip to Bora Bora.

(Approximately 4/4 of those hyphens are probably unnecessary.)

Things are hectic (as usual), so I can't respond to comments each evening, but I really appreciate hearing from you and thank you for taking the time to stop by.
