Bodie Island Lighthouse
 |
So much better to be here during the tourist season
instead of in December! Karen got to go inside the gift shop! And we
both went inside the lighthouse, up about 12 steps to a point where Lou got
this awesome picture of the curving metal staircase that goes all the way to
the top hugging the inner wall. No one is allowed on the stairs
though.

Karen was fast asleep but Lou was up early every morning,
enjoying the peace and quiet. |
|
The Beach
 |
This is right outside our hotel. Perfect! No
hassle for parking.
 |
The waves got rough! We did not body surf, we
instead got body checked by the ocean. |
There is Karen, making a neat pile of stuff on the beach
before heading off to look for shell fragments.
 |
 |
Here is our hotel (Days Inn - Mariner) as seen from the beach.

Again, Lou reveled in the peace and quiet while Karen
snoozed! Lou brought coffee from home, one of
the African coffees he picked up at A Southern Season. Yum.
