Day #68: Chestertown, MD

Raw sugar delivery.
We passed the Palawan as she was unloading at the Domino sugar plant.  The Palawan carries 22,000 tons of raw sugar.  Let's see, that's 5,000,000,000 packets of sugar!

Quaint Chestertown, MD

One of Chestertown's claims to fame is Washington College.  It's the tenth oldest in the US and the first college formed after the Revolutionary War.  The kids are just returning from summer break.  Ubiquitous are the signs, "Welcome class of 2023".
