A chilly, dreary day in New Bern, but we got an early start to the day with shopping at Wal Mart and Lowe's, breakfast at Waffle House and back to Catrina to organize more stuff. Mark and Barbara picked us up at 9:15 and we drove around New Bern and enjoyed all the charm of this little southern town. We visited the Tryon Palace, home of the first royal governor of North Carolina. If you're ever in these parts, it's a "must see" attraction along with all the lovely old homes.
We had a truly southern lunch at the Chelsea Cafe - "shrimp and grits" - oh my.....another winner! Spent the afternoon on Catrina with Mark still organizing. Drove to Mark and Barbara's home for excellent dinner and conversation! Said our good byes and hope we can meet up in FL this winter!

Another little ditty for New Bern....it is the birthplace of Pepsi Cola in 1898!
