GREAT HAPPY NEWS! We have found a generator circuit breaker! It is in a warehouse in North Carolina that stocks old Hatteras parts... they had only one! That's all we need and it is being flown here overnight.... a huge savings from having to order one custom made. Wahoo!
"Grand
Central Station in miniature!” That is what the people here in
Burlington called their new train station in 1915. It was built to
show travelers how sophisticated, wealthy and up to date Burlington
was. There was bragging about the double track with its overhead
walkway, spacious waiting room and the telegraph's office fancy clock
that was never more than 15 seconds slow!

Within
a half block of our boat slip is the Lake Aquarium & Science
Center called “ECHO” which stands for Ecology, Culture, History &
Opportunity.
The
entrance to the Waterfront and our boat slip had red brick walkways
and pretty flowers. At this circle one can catch a free shuttle bus
to downtown and several other stops. On the front of the bus was a
bike rack if you needed a break from peddling or a lift to one of
the many bike trails here.
Tree lined
streets and an interesting apartment building:
Walter
& I walked to the Pedestrian Mall looking for a place to eat
lunch. It had several blocks of shopping with no cars and no bicycles. Lots
& lots of eateries and some big named department stores along
with unique shops. |

This
seemed to be a place where old hippies gathered, too. A few young
ones also with guitar cases open on the ground in front of them. They
were making $ even if they couldn't sing! Might be an idea for me at
the next dock where we need to pay for a boat part...whatcha think?
We will be here another day waiting on the generator part to arrive and then Walter will have to install it. I am blessed to be on this Adventure with an engineer fix-it guy!
Thunder storms all afternoon rained out the photographer! Hoping to get a few more shots of this lovely city tomorrow before the rain hits.
