I just got back from seeing the Lipizzaner Horses perform in Wildwood. My brother, Don, came down and we drove to Wildwood. We got some beef stew and a roll at WaWa and went to the Hereford Lighthouse in North Wildwood. There are gardens and trails behind the lighthouse that lead to the sea wall, which is paved and makes a nice walkway along the shore. After we ate and took a few photos, we headed down to the convention center to see the show.
It was a wonderful performance. The horses are a beautiful white with black eyes and skin. Some have silver manes and tail. They may have been young ones as they are born black and turn white over the years. They live much longer than other breeds to about 35 or 40 years. Some more.
They were used by the Austrian Military and were trained to jump to avoid the enemy’s swords. They rear up and jump with all four hoofs off the ground. They do several dancing maneuvers. I got some photos of them in midair. It was hard to do as the camera has a delay and then has to wait between shots. The timing was tricky.
After the show, we walked along the boardwalk. Everything was closed except for the fudge shop and an arcade. No one but the attendant was in the arcade. We headed back into the wind and went to Urie’s restaurant to find it closed so we went on down to Cape May and ate at the Lobster House. It is on the marina near the canal. It is a charming place, the food was excellent, and the price wasn’t bad.
We both got the crab imperial. I brought half of mine home.
We headed on back to Vineland and picked up Danny at the kennel. He was happy to see us.
I got home about 7:40 and had only one group of Halloween kids. I gave them each two candy bars because I didn’t want to be stuck with a lot of candy. It looks like I am because they were the only family to come to the door. The hours ended at 8:00.
