Another day of new experiences. We visited the Outer Banks in North Carolina for the first time. It was a great day for driving and it was nice to see the temperature gradually rise. We visited a couple of Mainers in "exile" who will probably only be back to Maine for visits. It is so nice to see a wonderful couple like Bob and Glen enjoying their family and grandchildren in such a great place. It was different from what I thought down here. I thought that I would see single level homes along the beach but instead there are many 3 level homes with Crow's nests at the top to be able to see the ocean and wonderful sunrises above the dunes that protect the homes, and town from large waves and storms that hit the area. We were there at a good time as the seasonal people tend to cause traffic problems. Thanks Glen and Bob for your wonderful hospitality.
