As promised...

...vacation highlights.


The drive from CT to Baltimore.


A thing on a truck.


Driving through Mos Eisley.


Back in NC.


Waiting for the ferry to Ocracoke.


Tire shark at the bookstore.


"Henry" (Henrietta), our temporary cat for the week at the Crew's Inn.


Tomatillo Shrimp w/avocado.


Thousands of tiny clams, coming in with the tide.


An east coast baja bug.


Val with a shell collection. (Moments before the question was popped...)


Val and the ring wait for dinner.


Celebration dinner.


A talk at the Preservation Society by local fishermen, including Morty, who at 13 is the youngest commercial fisherman (ever?maybe?) in the area.


Ocracoke figs.


Some of my table art, and the pearl I found in my fried oysters. The street value wouldn't have covered the dentist bill, but luckily I found it without chomping it.


Ocracoke lighthouse.


Val and her adopted Ocracoke pony, Oops.


Goodbye to the island.
