Good News

Building on Campus


July 27, Monday: Good News this morning, the Vet called and Sobaka's lump is benign. This is a big relief. Yeah for him!.......Yeah for us!




Big thunderstorm last night the rain woke us up. Not too much wind but lots of rain, lightning, and thunder. This morning very humid but should be good weather to head into town.



Bell Tower on UNC Campus




Walked around the town of Chapel Hill. Went into a few stores. Then walked to the campus for a little history lesson about UNC. The campus is just about the whole town. It sits on the end of the main street of town. UNC of Chapel Hill was established in 1793. It opened its doors in 1795 making it America's first state university. Very pretty campus with lots and lots of trees. It has a teaching hospital which is a huge part of the campus. Several construction areas which made it a little difficult to get around. Larry was disappointed because the Basketball Museum is closed on Mondays. He would have enjoyed going through it. We were going to try to head to Durham to visit the Duke University but ran out of time. Guess we have to leave something for the next trip.






We had lunch at Mama Dip's. It is very famous in town for its regional food. After lunch Larry drove around to see some of the outlying areas. It is always fun because when you become geographically challenged you see more than you thought you would.






This evening took a nice walk with the dogs in our park. Not very many people about so nice and quiet. Glass of wine while looking at the atlas to decide our next destination. Looks like we are heading to Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay area.






Good night!!!
