Manteo is a town on Roanoke Island which is just west of Nags Head on the Outer Banks of NC. A bit of history, it is the location of the first English colony in North America having beeen established in 1584. Unfortunately this was not a successful colony, but today the history of the area is played up quite a bit.
We rented a car with the Sorensens and drove to the Outer Banks thru Nags Head, Kill Devil Hills and Kitty Hawk. We visited Bodie Island Lighthouse shown here with Debby and Eddie. The following day Debby and Eddie shopped in Manteo while Fred and I visited the replica 16th century sailing ship on display across the harbor from us as well as the colonial village set up there. Travel in those days was very adventuresome! Fred and I agree we have lived in the best of times.
Yesterday we traveled to Ocracoke, part of the Outer Banks itself and accessible only by water. It was a great 57 NM open water ride in Pamlico Sound.
