There is a new Italian restaurant, oddly called Riley's, that is quite good, but the best meal was the seafood platter at the Flying Melon. Lots of sales -- which I'd never seen there before -- at the local shops. We rented a house called Pipe Dream. It was a real pad and affordable but the highlight was the guest book. I guess a couple of nudists used to live next door and put on quite a show for the renters. Some of the guest had strong opinions on the subject!

Interesting sidenote - I grew up on the opposite coast in California with family roots going as far east as Colorado. We grew up using catty-corner instead of katty-whompus, tho I've heard that word (phrase?) as well. :) <abbr><em>Kaye - SandwichINK’s last blog post..<a href="http://www.sandwichink.com/sandwichink-welcomes-you-to-the-2009-blog-party" rel="nofollow">SandwichINK Welcomes YOU to the 2009 Blog Party</a></em></abbr> Loved the story and the pictures.

I followed a link from my own blog's BlogHer ads and found this wonderfully informative post. Ocrakoke is on my "bucket list" because I hear that there are some great shelling conditions at certain times of the year. I live near Sanibel Island in Florida, where I've collected lots of great sea shells from the Gulf beaches - would like to expand my collection to include some Atlantic species, some days. Anyhow, my own link was featured on the BlogHer ad today too, just under yours - in case it is gone by time you see this, I'll leave one here in the comments, too.
