Today we went to the Fort Raleigh National Historic Park. It’s an old English earthen fort that Sir Walter Raleigh built as early fortification for the 'New World' near Roanoke Colony. Despite it’s rather long name, it is actually quite small. The fort is pretty much a 35’x35’ mound and trench with a flat area in the middle. However, Mom pointed out that there were very few outposts at the time, so a you might say a little went a long way.
The other thing we did on Friday was visit the Wings over Water festival dinner. We had plenty of seafood, and listened to a speech and watched a presentation of a wildlife photographer. His pictures were ridiculous; beyond words. My favorite was a picture of a rare and exotic owl (I hate myself for not remember it’s name) perched on a tree. It looked like it was smirking amusedly at us.
