OCEAN CITY;
Which is not place to impress the
aesthetic with its beautiful surroundings.

the beholder is the majestic ocean, with
its roaring pillows, which stretches out

could not resist its magnetic influence
and we too were washed bY the angry
breakers We have bathed in the limpid
waters of the Chesapeake. the Spa and the
