Back on the Road

When The Fuzz last posted, he left a sort of artillery hint on where he was headed next.  But really this time, he was more interested in this lighthouse.

The next destination was Edenton NC.
It seems to be a nice little place to spend a bit of time.
But The Fuzz was only planning to be there for an overnight stop on his way up to Virginia.
He got into town around 14:00 and checked in to his hotel.
There, he found that there was some kind of problem with his reservation.
But it turned out that there was a room available after all.

After getting this straightened out, The Fuzz decided to head down to the waterfront to see that Lighthouse.
Alas, it was closed!

Well, there were other things to see.
He got to tour one of the old houses, and at least read about that lighthouse.
And the Battle of Albemarle Sound!

And while we are on the subject, This guy has to be the twin brother to the one in The Fuzz's own fair city.

But all that is history now.
There were a lot of these old houses there.
The Fuzz enjoyed a cold one in this courtyard.  There was a pool with a couple of  fish fountains.
That reminded him of the latest project waiting at home-
but we'll get into that in another post.
Wandering around town The Fuzz found a Used Book Store.
And there he saw a complete set of Winston Churchill's The Second World War, for only $9 !
Somehow he found room for this in his saddlebags.

Then it was back to the hotel, where he was forced to face the reality, that there was nothing worth watching on TV.
