Still enjoying Oriental, NC

8-11-07 Saturday
We've made ourselves at home here in Oriental. There is an active social life here on the docks. We've been riding our bikes all over town. It is level, so a biker's dream.
Here is the road leading into the marina. Lots of trees and very little traffic. Folks drive very slowly here and always wave to you.
Here is a log cabin that we really liked.
And here is a very typical NC house right across the street from the cabin.
And here is a very elegant house along the street that fronts the Neuse River. Big lawns are very typical. I guess riding mowers are necessary.

We have become very comfortable here. It was very hot this week, but we finally got our air conditioner working with a new water pump. Now the cabin is cool throughout, not just our bedroom. The bug level dropped last week and I haven't been bitten in a while now. Yay!
