Granny,
Down the shore is the expression people from northern New Jersey say when they're coming to our shore towns in central NJ for vacation. The conversation might go something like this:
"Hey, Joe? Where ya goin' this weekend?"
"Down the shore. Wanna come?"
My hometown is Lavallette, a small shore community, but I'm living further inland and a bit south now.
TIMELAPSE Easter Egg:
Turn around 180 degrees from where you arrive on Easter Island and walk down the path. Pass the statue where you find the diary and continue until you get to the first bend in the road (have to turn). When you turn around and look back along the path, you'll see the statue's head at the top of the rise and to the left of the path. Hold down the Control (PC) or Command (Mac) key, click the head, and watch what happens.
