The Carolina's

Here's Gary and Val's version of the Cialis bathtub commerial.


Nov 15 – The Outer Banks were great. We visited Kitty Hawk, where the Wright brothers flew the first airplane; see photos. We also walked on a large tall sand dune and a few beaches. The wind was blowing really hard and the waves were big and crashing hard on the beach. We didn’t stay outdoors too long.

One thing I forgot to mention in my last entry in North Carolina was a place called Dismal Swamp. It’s like its name implies but through it they have a man-made canal that runs up the coast. It was dug by slaves many years ago and is still in use. It’s the only one of its kind. It looked funny to see sailboats parked at the docks in the jungle/swamp.

Another thing I didn’t mention was when we were staying at Gary and Val’s friends in Virginia Beach Val got up early one morning and their dog wanted outside. So, Val opened the door to discover they have an alarm system. Not only did she wake up everyone in the house but half the neighborhood too. All’s she could say was “sorry”. It was funny once things settled down.

We’ve been in South Carolina, outside Charleston, for a few days. We’re camped at a Navy recreation site on Lake Moultrie. The motorhome is backed up to the lake shore and we’re surrounded by big trees covered with Spanish moss; very southern. The weather has been great; mid 70s during the day. We’ve seen some great sun downs.

Today we toured Charleston; the old sections were pretty neat, lots of history here. We hate to leave but we’re heading south tomorrow.
