North Carolina wrap-up

We took the 30-minute ferry ride from Fort Fisher to Southport and spent several enjoyable hours strolling the lovely residential streets and downtown. Beautiful old homes, wide streets, sidewalks, live-oak trees all create a very southern setting. The downtown on Cape Fear River with brick buildings and nice little shops makes for a pleasing meander. We enjoyed lunch al fresco at Fishy Fishy Cafe where Lucy could also take part.

A long, long walk on the beach at Freeman Park.

Dinner @ home – grilled red snapper.

Kure Beach, NC

Enjoying the mild temps and long beach walks. Love these colorful houses built on stilts for hurricane protection. Not much happening here at this time of year, which suits us perfectly. Spending the week in a little cottage with screened porch, where we can hear the gulls and watch the pelicans fly by in formation.
