Carolinas = Rain

Beaufort, North Carolina was once home to Blackbeard and the site of the wreck of his flagship the Queen Anne's Revenge. Most artifacts from the wreck are still being brought up and prepared for display (the cannons were all fully loaded, very pirate-like). We enjoyed the small museum dedicated to the Queen Anne's and sea-going in general.

Being ahead of the season meant closed bakeries....

and rhum bars - missed it by 5 days!

There are lots of old, old homes in Beaufort but the cold, wet weather left a gloomy impression.

One good thing about rain though....it's not snow :-)
