Antietam and Shepherdstown

Earlier in August I visited the Antietam Battlefield in Maryland and ate lunch at Blue Moon Cafe, an interesting restaurant in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, which is not far across the Potomac River from the battlefield.

A tiny stream runs through the courtyard of the Blue Moon Cafe, a hippy-like restaurant with a 1960s-early 70s atmosphere that offers many vegetarian options. I tried the Apple-acian sandwich (slice of baked Granny Smith apple, brie cheese, red onion, and dijon mustard on ciabatta bread). I liked the taste and trying something new to me--a sandwich with an apple slice.

Across the street from the restaurant is the Little House on the Shepherd University campus. Built in the late 1920s at a scale suitable for small children, it was closed while I was there.

I wish that I had taken a picture through a window of the furnished interior.
