ADVENTURES ABOUND IN THE BOOMING METROPOLIS OF ORIENTAL, YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW WHERE TO LOOK. SHY AS WE ARE, IT TOOK US A WHILE TO BEGIN TO VENTURE OUT, MEET PEOPLE AND EXPLORE THE AREA.
THE SAILBOAT DOCKED NEXT TO US WAS HEADED TO FIJI - GEORGE SAID IT WOULD TAKE A TRUCK LOAD OF BLACK FOOTBALL PLAYERS TO FORCE HIS ASS ONTO THAT BOAT. NO WAY IN HELL WAS HE GOING ON A TRIP LIKE THAT.
WHILE ENJOYING A LIBATION, ALANA WAS APPROACHED BY ONE OF THE LOCAL STUDS WHO MENTIONED "SHE STUNK TOO GOOD TO BE FROM AROUND HERE".
RECOGNIZING THE GOOD STINK WAS WORTH SHARING, WE SET OFF EXPLORING. THE QUESTION ASKED MORE THAN A FEW TIMES - WHY IS IT CALLED ORIENTAL?
WHY AREN'T THERE ANY OF THESE MAILBOXES IN URBANNA?
NOT ALL THAT ORIENTAL THOUGH....
NO MENTION OF THE ORIENT - BUT IT DOES PROVIDE ORIENTATION....
LOOKS SORT OF ORNAMENTAL....
LOCAL VIOLIN MAKER - HE KINDA LOOKS ORIENTAL...
TURKEY DAY CAME AND WENT WITH ALL THE TRADITIONAL BELLY RUBBING. IT WAS LOTS OF FUN CELEBRATING THE HOLIDAY IN A BRAND NEW PLACE OVER-EATING WITH STRANGERS.
TOMORROW WE HEAD SOUTH PAST MOREHEAD CITY WITH THE GOAL OF MAKING IT TO WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH SATURDAY NIGHT........MAYBE.
REGARDLESS OF HOW FAR WE GET, IT IS NICE KNOWING WE STINK GOOD.
LOVE US
Hope you had a good turkey day. Dave and I went rock fishing today, had a couple get away but we are going back out tomorrow. How come there is no post for today? Are you all in Beaufort or what. Keep us informed. We miss you. Jan
ReplyDeleteSo after returning from my own journey south (by auto), I've had a chance to catch up. I have two thoughts.
ReplyDelete1. OMG WTF are you guys doing without a sitter?
2. Poor George.
