Onancock

Or simply Nancock to locals. The name may mean “foggy place” but this week it meant windy, rainy, drizzly place with good wifi and good places to eat. So we stayed a few days and avoided the bumpy Bay and enjoyed some eastern shore Virginia hospitality.

 

Several small churches in town. We went to the Onancock Baptist Church for their Sunday worship service. Very friendly people, great music and an excellent message from Romans 12.

With a name like Liars Bench, who could resist…

The Onancock town wharf and Mallards.

The town is an interesting mix of artsy shops and waterman’s docks. We met folks who grew up here and some transplanted from up north. One couple told us that people come here for the peace and quiet, but that some leave after about 18 months. Apparently it’s a little too quiet for them.

Great friends came to visit for the day. We drove around and looked at properties for sale, stopped for groceries and had a great day together.

Right pose, wrong clothes. It’s supposed to be warmer!

 

But if not…
