After a full day of sightseeing yesterday, today was to have been a day of rest for us. It started out that way. At 6:30a, we had no plans but to take it easy, go for a walk on the beach, write a post or two for the blog, do a few chores, have a picnic lunch … and maybe even dinner on the beach. Then we checked the OBX weather. Sunshine and comfortably warm temperatures were in the forecast through Wednesday, with rain moving in for Thursday and Friday. So, we decided to make hay while we had sunshine, so to speak, and headed out to do a bit more sightseeing.
Seeing as how I don’t seem to be able to find time to blog, I thought a quick look at our activities these past two days was in order … detailed blog entries to be posted at some future date.
(My photo hosting service is conspiring against me — the servers are down, so I’ll be posting photos directly from my laptop; we’ll see how that goes.)
April 17 found us exploring the northern OBX …

A short break for a sweet treat in Duck …
Mui’s waiting to get us …
… some ice cream.
Then it was back to the campground after a brief stop at …
Coquina Beach … birds heading to roost at a nearby refuge.

April 18 — our rest-day-turned-sightseeing-day found us exploring …

Mui can’t resist playing in the cold Atlantic surf.
Tomorrow is another day of sightseeing in the OBX. Depending on how our day plays out, there may or may not be a blog post when we call it quits and return to the coach.
