Looking out the window, I am wondering what the heck happened to the sun? It was so gorgeous on Sunday at the beaches, that I called my neighbor and asked her if she wanted to take a walk around Rehoboth Beach.
Rehoboth Beach is a great town to walk. The Boardwalk is award-winning and the iconic benches line this popular boardwalk just in case you want to relax and people watch. Sunday was one of those days that even though it was a bit cool, the beaches were packed. Some were at the water’s edge with sweaters, some were shopping, others were just enjoying one beautiful day. And others decided to just eat and have something to drink.
The Greyhounds stayed in Dewey but they also made the rounds in Downtown Rehoboth Beach. At least they had one good sunny day this week-end.
Walking through The Pines, a neighborhood, between Downtown Rehoboth Beach and Henlopen Acres, we stopped to check out 2 Open Houses. One new construction and the other one a house that had been built in the 1940s and was still owned by the family. We got a bird’s eye view from the top of this house, whose “upper deck” was a later addition.
On our walk we stopped at Anita Peghini-Raber Gallery. It is located at 49 Baltimore Avenue. Anita is an expressionist; she is also self-taught. Website? http://www.rehobothart.com.
What’s Happening at the gallery?
Oriental Dance with Viviana on Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m. $10 donation at the door.
Tango de Arte takes place the last Saturday of the month. A free class from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. From 9 p.m. dance until……late. Please visit http://www.tangolewes.com.
These events are well attended and they tell me that they are so much fun!!
Hungry and late in the afternoon we decided to stop at Semra’s Mediterranean Grill. It is located at 19 Rehoboth Avenue. John and Semra are the owners and they are always at the restaurant. I cannot say enough about their cuisine. Everything is made in house. Website? http://www.semras.com. Tel. 302-727-5964. Sema’s is on Facebook. Watch for Belly Dancing Events coming up in the months to come.
You know, it is really interesting, because I can say that I can make a Mousaka, but when Mousaka is served at Semra’s it takes your palate to a different dimension. Their spices are sent by relatives and the taste is delicate, with dishes perfectly seasoned.
My dish was traditional from Semra’s city in Turkey…..except I forgot if it was called Manti, Monti…hopefully she will correct me. It was light, and Semra’s described it that way. Ground lamb with amazing spices and with just a hint of heat, topped with tzatziki (yogurt) sauce.
Off we went back to our car….Lucky to live at the beach and never take it for granted. Have a great day!!

Another passion of Anita is dancing. Tango dancing takes place the last Saturday of each month. A Milonga or Social Dance Party is held at the gallery.
